Question

I need to write using Graphics.DrawString in a print Document method , a string with vertical direction and I have a limitation on the string width , the problem is that the string is writen from left to right and I need that the first line be on the right I’m using the method below

SizeF s = e.Graphics.MeasureString(str1, po.defaultF,la1, StringFormat.GenericTypographic);
RectangleF rec=new RectangleF();
StringFormat strF=new StringFormat();
strF.FormatFlags=StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical;
rec.Height=s.Width+15;
rec.Width=s.Height+5;
rec.X =0;
rec.Y=0;
e.Graphics.DrawString(str1, po.defaultF, Brushes.Black, rec, strF);

Answer 1

The solution is to use RotateTransform(90) and without using the StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical
here is the peace of code:

Rectangle rec = new Rectangle();
rec.Height = 2 * po.medF.Height;
rec.Width=100;
rec.X = 0;
rec.Y = 0;
SizeF s;
String str = "your Text";
StringFormat strf = new StringFormat();
strf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;    
rec.X = 0;
rec.Y = 0;
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(X1, Y1);
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(90);
e.Graphics.DrawString(str, po.medF, Brushes.Black, rec, strf);
e.Graphics.ResetTransform();
