drawstring alike

[Geert Gerrits]

Hi,

I'm trying to print a string under an angle. Is there a way to do this ?

Thanks.

What do you mean "under an angle"?
If you mean.
/______
85

Then you can use the graphics object passed in the paint event to paint the
angle and then draw the string underneath.
Have a look at the Graphics class.

Heres some quick code I churned up.
Hope you get the idea.

private void Form1_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
StringFormat oStringFormat = new StringFormat();
oStringFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;
g.DrawString("Test",
new Font("Arial", 20),
new SolidBrush(Color.Red),
150,100,oStringFormat);

g.RotateTransform(45);
g.TranslateTransform(50,-100);
g.DrawString("Test",
new Font("Arial", 20),
new SolidBrush(Color.Red),
150,100,oStringFormat);
g.ResetTransform();
g.DrawString("Test",
new Font("Arial", 20),
new SolidBrush(Color.Blue),
200,100,oStringFormat);
}

Cheers
Nitya.

Simply rotate the Transformation matrix of the Graphics object and all
objects are drawn with you specified angle.
