Vertical text in Tkinter Canvas

Question

Is there a way to draw vertical text in Tkinter library? (Python recommended) ``` textID = w1.create_text(5, 5, anchor="nw") w1.itemconfig(textID, text = "This is some text") ```

Accepted Answer

Since people are being linked to this answer, I'll add an update.

In tcl 8.6, the create_text method got an `angle` option. You can check your tcl version with `Tkinter.TclVersion`. If you have 8.6 or greater, you can use:

```
textID = w1.create_text(5, 5, anchor="nw", angle=90)
```
