[comp.windows.x.motif] Rotated text

ola@niksula.hut.fi (Ola Rinta-Koski) (06/13/91)

  Is there an easy way of displaying text that has been rotated
90 degrees under X/Motif?  Has anybody actually written a label
widget which does that?

  A solution would be to make a bitmap of the text to be displayed
and then rotate the bitmap. Any other solutions?

I have a widget that does this, using Display PostScript.  You could
probably do it with PEX, too.
