drawVerticalString

public static void drawVerticalString(Graphics g,
                                      String text,
                                      Font font,
                                      int x,
                                      int y)

Draws a string vertically, turned 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Read carefully what the x and y coordinates means; chances are that if you draw to (x,y) = (0,0), you won't see anything.

Parameters:

g - the graphics context on which to draw

text - the string to draw

font - the font to use

x - the x coordinate where you want to place the baseline of the text.

y - the y coordinate where you want to place the first letter of the text.

maxStringPixelWidth

public static int maxStringPixelWidth(String[] strings,
                                      FontMetrics fm)

Parameters:

strings - an array of strings whose pixels widths to compare

fm - FontMetrics object for the Component or Graphics.

Returns:

the largest pixel width of a string in the strings array.

stringPixelWidth

public static int stringPixelWidth(String text,
                                   FontMetrics fm)

Parameters:

text - the string whose pixel width is to be measured

fm - FontMetrics object for the Component or Graphics.

Returns:

the pixel width of the string for the specified font.
