# How to: Create Vertical Text
You can use a <xref:System.Drawing.StringFormat> object to specify that text be drawn vertically rather than horizontally.
## Example
The following example assigns the value <xref:System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical> to the <xref:System.Drawing.StringFormat.FormatFlags%2A> property of a <xref:System.Drawing.StringFormat> object. That <xref:System.Drawing.StringFormat> object is passed to the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A> method of the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> class. The value <xref:System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical> is a member of the <xref:System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags> enumeration.
The following illustration shows the vertical text:

[!code-vb[System.Drawing.FontsAndText#31](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Winforms/System.Drawing.FontsAndText/VB/Class1.vb#31)]
## Compiling the Code
- The preceding example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires <xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs> `e` , which is a parameter of <xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventHandler>.
