Using ImageUtilities as in the linked post worked well. Here is how to use it in a Label.

@Override
protected void paintFigure(Graphics graphics) {
    if (vertical) {
        Image image = ImageUtilities.createRotatedImageOfString(getSubStringText(), getFont(), getForegroundColor(), getBackgroundColor());
        graphics.drawImage(image, new Point(getTextLocation()).translate(getLocation()));
    image.dispose();
    } else {
        super.paintFigure(graphics);
    }
}

would it be good practice to cache the image and only dispose it when the label is disposed? What method is the best to dispose the image? Label#removeNotify? – lolung Jan 31 '18 at 09:28
