GDIPlus Vertical Text

[ChrisL]

I'm creating a EAN8 readable barcode and I want to put the human readable it in a block on the right.

I'm using

_GDIPlus_BrushDispose($hBrush)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString ($hGraphic, $BarCodeStr, 305, 110,"Arial",20,0x0002);vertical text

To write the text vertically but it writes from top to bottom, how can I rotate the text 180 when writing it please?

Malkey wrote this nice function: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=584436

Edit: an example
