Drawing vertical text in WPF using DrawingContext.DrawText()

Question

I am doing some custom drawing using DrawingContext in WPF. I am using DrawingContext.DrawText for drawing strings. Now, at a place I want to draw the text vertically. Is there any option in the DrawingContext OR DrawText() function to draw text vertically?

Answer 1

Here is my solution: It is need to create rotate transform around the text origin, so we pass x and y to RotateTransform constructor

       ...
        // ft - formatted text, (x, y) - point, where to draw            
        dc.PushTransform(new RotateTransform(-90, x, y));
        dc.DrawText(ft, new Point(x, y));
        dc.Pop();
        ...
