How to do 90 degree rotated text?

[Shifty Geezer]

I'm wanting some labels that point downwards instead of to the right. A text label can be rotated 90 degrees but I can't find a way to anchor it. The label anchors seem to be locked to the left/right values of the anchor parent where I'd need it mapped to the top/bottom values.

Is there some workaround? Or should one just use static bitmap textures for rotated labels?

While you can anchor and then rotate things, the anchoring will be... odd. As you noticed, horizontal always anchors to horizontal, and vertical to vertical, so if you rotate it to 90 degrees it will behave in a non-intuitive manner. I would advise not anchoring labels that you rotate 90 degrees, or at least anchoring them in a manner that won't stretch them.

Okay, I'll use bitmap labels.
