# Vertical Text

Draws different vertical texts.

## Instruction

This code demonstrates how to display vertical text both within a rectangular shape and at a specific point using `ShapeTextFrame` and `PointTextFrame`.
The `ShapeTextFrame` is used with a rectangular path, while the `PointTextFrame` places the text at a specified point in the canvas.
The text in both frames is oriented vertically.

## Usings

```csharp
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing;
```

## Code Snippet

```csharp
using (var bitmap = new Bitmap(500, 500, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb, RgbColor.White))
using (var gr = bitmap.GetGraphics())
{
    var text = new Text();
    text.String = Texts.LoremIpsum;
    text.CharStyle.Size = 20;

    var shape = new Path();
    shape.DrawRectangle(200, 50, 300, 300);

    text.Frames.Add(new ShapeTextFrame()
    {
        Shape = shape,
        TextOrientation = TextOrientation.Vertical,
    });

    text.Frames.Add(new PointTextFrame()
    {
        Point = new System.Drawing.PointF(50, 50),
        TextOrientation = TextOrientation.Vertical,
    });

    gr.DrawText(text);

    bitmap.Save("VerticalText.png");
}
```

## Explanation

The code:

- Creates a rectangular path (300x300 pixels) and places text within it using `ShapeTextFrame` with vertical orientation.
- Also adds a `PointTextFrame` with vertical orientation, where the text is placed at a specified point.
- Both text placements are rendered on the canvas and saved as "VerticalText.png".
