Drawing vertically stacked text in WinForms

Question

Preferably using a Graphics object, how do you draw a string so that the characters are still oriented normally, but are stacked vertically?

Answer 1

Just split the string into characters and draw each one adding the line height of your font to your Y-axis variable:

    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        float x = 10.0F;
        float y = 10.0F;

        string drawString = "123";

        using(SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black))
        using (Font drawFont = new Font("Arial", 16))
        {
            foreach (char c in drawString.ToCharArray())
            {
                PointF p = new PointF(x, y);
                e.Graphics.DrawString(c.ToString(), drawFont, brush, p);

                y += drawFont.Height;
            }
        }
        base.OnPaint(e);
    }
