question: public static void drawAngledString ( Graphics g , String text , int x , int y , double angle ) { Graphics2D g2D = ( Graphics2D ) g ; AffineTransform oldAt = g2D . getTransform ( ) ; AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform ( oldAt ) ; at . rotate ( angle , x , y ) ; g2D . setTransform ( at ) ; g2D . drawString ( text , x , y ) ; g2D . setTransform ( oldAt ) ; }
target:  Draws the text from a starting point with an angle
