Here is an example of DrawTextLayout to draw vertical text.


private void DrawTextLayout(SharpDX.Direct2D1.RenderTarget renderTarget, ChartPanel chartPanel, float x, float y, string text, SimpleFont font, string defaultForegroundBrush)
   	{
   		SharpDX.Matrix3x2 originalTransform = RenderTarget.Transform;
   		
   		SharpDX.Vector2 origin = new SharpDX.Vector2(x, y);
   		
   		RenderTarget.Transform	= Matrix3x2.Rotation(1.5708f, origin);
   		
   		SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextFormat textFormat = font.ToDirectWriteTextFormat();
   		SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextLayout textLayout = new SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextLayout(NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.DirectWriteFactory,
   													text, textFormat, chartPanel.X + chartPanel.W,
   													textFormat.FontSize);
   		
   		renderTarget.DrawTextLayout(origin, textLayout, dxmBrushes[defaultForegroundBrush].DxBrush);
   		
   		RenderTarget.Transform = originalTransform;
   		
   		textFormat.Dispose();
   		textFormat = null;
   		textLayout.Dispose();
   		textLayout = null;
   	}

Thank you for sharing this. It’s good to know how to do this if/when I need it.
BTW, if you put 3 back ticks (```) before and after your code block, it will look a lot cleaner.
Take a look at my post below for details.

Cheers.
