But could the rotation code be part of the Separator component's
paint/layout/'whatever magic happens when painting' code?
paint() {
if (orientation = VERTICAL) {
// Swap the width & height values for the purposed of painting
// ie, 20x100 would be painted horizontally within the bounds of
100x20
}
// Draw the component horizontally as normal, but to an image/buffer
rather than the GUI
if (orientation = VERTICAL) {
// Rotate and possibly re-align the previously rendered image
}
// Paint the image to the GUI
}
