You mean rotate the text?

I don't know if fltk2 has that ability or not (though it is feasible  
on many modern systems).

There are hooks to support text rotation in the fltk-1.3 tree, at  
least on some platforms, though probably not all, but there's no  
exposed API for it AFAIK. There are a few contributions on the links  
page that provide for text rotation, so you might find something  
there that works.

If it were me, I'd make a subclassed widget and i it's draw method  
rotate the label text there - but I don't know what it is you are  
trying to do. Can you expand a bit on what effect you are trying to  
achieve? Maybe someone here already has the code to do it.

If you are trying to "rotate" the entire display though, I'd do that  
at the graphic driver / window manager level, not in the application  
code.
