An ugly way. Set each char with "\n", which means if your text is "abc", set it with "a\nb\nc\n". -----Original Message----- From: gtk-list-admin@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:gtk-list-admin@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Egon Andersen Sent: 2004年1月5日 23:25 To: gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Rotate label 90 degrees NGP Languages wrote: > Happy New Year to ALL! > > "Egon Andersen" wrote: > >>Hi, >> >>I'll like to insert a label that is rotated 90 degrees i.e. the label >>text is vertical and not horizontal. >>How can I do this? >> > > > Because the text in a widget cann't be rotated, > you will have to create a pixmap picture that you can add to the > label.

I have some loose idea about how this could be done, but I'm still looking for how to do it using gtk, gdk and their friends. My loose idea is: 1) make the label with horizontal text (gtk_label_new()) 2) grab it as a pixmap (but how?) 3) rotate the pixmap (but how?) 4) insert rotated pixmap (probably using gtk_image_new_from_pixmap()) Is this feasible and how do I solve 2) and 3)?
