    Yes. Look at Graphics2D.rotate(). For a JLabel, I think you could override the paintComponent() method to call rotate(x), then call the existing paintComponent(), then call rotate(-x). e.g.

    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
   Graphics2D g2 = ( Graphics2D )g;
   g2.rotate(theta);
   super.paintComponent(g2);
   g2.rotate(-theta);
}

    I haven’t tried this. You might need to add an offset, see Graphics2D.rotate(double theta, double x, double y)
