I'm creating a line chart control, and I need to write (or better say draw) the axis names and axis values.

I found DrawText and TextOut functions, but the text they show is flickering and don't know how to set the font and text orientation (I will need vertical text orientation as well as horizontal).

Are there any other functions you could recoommend or how to use these stated above and get the results I need?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.
