Pango rotate ?

Sæl,

About a year ago John Hunter proposed a routine to rotate pango text ( draw_text_rotated)

I wonder if the procedure has been implemented by default in a pango method yet.
It would be VERY useful for many to have the possibility to rotate pangolayout, at least by 90,180,270 degrees

Takk

OK, got this working at the level of manipulating individual pixels in
a gtk.gdk.Image with pixbufs and pixmaps. For my purposes, making
ylabels, this is probably fast enough, but if anyone has a more
efficient solution, let me know...

However, if the 'Rotate' button is clicked repeatedly, which just
repeats the rotated drawing operation, strange things start to appear
in the region where the rotated text is rendered. Since repeated
clicks should just be repeating the same drawing operations, it is not
clear to me why this is happening.

Below is an example script.
