Christian,
Looking through the code for drawing the "thin diamond", I think you might
be able to get what you want by specifying the fillstyle. It appears that
different rotations are applied when the fillstyle is set to one of
"bottom", "top", or "left". "full" is another available fillstyle, which
appears to take a unit rectangle and rotates that 45 degrees.
Probably your best bet would be the 'top' fillstyle, which looks like it
does a 90 degree rotation.
I hope this helps,
Ben Root
