How do I present text vertically in a JLabel ? (Java 1.6)

Question

I\'m looking to have text display vertically, first letter at the bottom, last letter at the top, within a JLabel. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can also use the SwingX API

Bottom to top :

JXLabel label = new JXLabel("MY TEXT");
label.setTextRotation(3 * Math.PI / 2);

Top to bottom :

JXLabel label = new JXLabel("MY TEXT");
label.setTextRotation(Math.PI / 2);
