How do you draw non-horizontal text in Visual Basic, or Windows in general
for that matter ?  I need to draw text at any orientation.  

Also, I have seen programs that generate 3 dimensional graphs where the text
used to label the axes also appears 3 dimensional.  That is, the user can
specify the viewing angle for the graph and the vertical axis text is drawn
vertically and appears to be rotated about the Z axis as well, so it appears
to be in the same plane as the vertical axis grid. It works with ATM and 
True Type fonts.  How is that done ??

Thanks for any and all help.
