Hi,

How can I have a vertical label ? I tried the rotation property but text is also inverted… need a mirror to read then 😉  
Should I use image ? no…

I tried using html and formatted the text like this: L  
a  
b  
e  
l

It worked fine. Not sure where your text is coming from, but if it’s dynamic, it’ll be easy to do this in scripting.

A really simple label. Drop a label on the window and simply change rotation property.
