Rotated Text?

[prothero at earthednet.org]

Scott:
I'm not sure how to approach this. Should I use a separate, offscreen window to put the field in, and to get the snapshot? Also, is it possible to create the image with the background transparent, so I can put the image where I want and see only the text?

I assume that the text field needs to appear on the screen for the snapshot to work. Hmm, I'll have to think about whether this is ok. Or, perhaps I can make some pre-defined labels that are generic enough and use them for the axis labels (just thinking aloud). That would work.
