graphics problem!

[Mateen Dar]

hi , i am facing triouble with a small grpahics problem. my project draws liens between various nodes. then a string is printed on these edges. the problem is g.drawString() writes the string completly horizontally. i want the string to be printed neatly next to the edge. u understand what i mean. how can i do this. i know the graphics 2d library has affine transformation, but i dont know how i can do it. thanks for u'r help

the String

Really need to see some code on that in order to help.

Graphics2D g1= (Graphics2D)g;
AffineTransform transform=new AffineTransform();
g1.drawLine(10,10,130,130);
transform.rotate(Math.toRadians(45),77,77);
g1.setTransform(transform);
g1.drawString("Hello",75,75);

this piece code does the trick .. but how do i undo the transform. cuase i have other strings to be printed at a different angle. thanks.

Save the current transform before setting to the rotated one, and then set it back to the saved one.

Graphics2D g1= (Graphics2D)g;
AffineTransform transform=new AffineTransform();
g1.drawLine(10,10,130,130);
transform.rotate(Math.toRadians(45),77,77);
AffineTransform oldTransform = g1.getTransform();
g1.setTransform(transform);
g1.drawString("Hello",75,75);
g1.setTransform(oldTransform);
