Vertical QLabel, or the equivalent?

Question

I want axis labels for a plot I\'m making, and naturally the y-axis label should be oriented vertically. I\'m pretty sure QwtPlot does this, but I\'m trying to

Answer 1

Here is a variant of Mostafa's implementation.

void VerticalLabel::paintEvent(QPaintEvent*)
{
    QPainter painter(this);

//    painter.translate(sizeHint().width(),0);
//    painter.rotate(90);
    painter.translate(0,sizeHint().height());
    painter.rotate(270);

    painter.drawText(QRect (QPoint(0,0),QLabel::sizeHint()),Qt::AlignCenter,text());
}

basically i have removed setPen and setBrush to preserve stylesheet and i have used an overload of drawText that uses the rect instead of point. This allows to have the '\n' inside the text or use WordWrap as a flag.
