Rotate a Grid

I'm searching for rotate a grid (90 or 180?) in a pdf report. Maybe it's possible with JS but i didn't find.
Thank you for help.

Can you explain more about the application? What determines the rotation? A parameter defined by the user? Or something else? One option could be to create 3 grids. One normal, one rotated 90 degrees and one 180 degrees. Then, depending on your parameter or criteria, you could drop or hide the unneeded ones.

The reports we make with birt are printing in book format. We have, in the same report, pages in landscape and portrait format (but in this case, we maybe can do with masterpages).

But, on a A4, we are printing 2 pages, so we need a 180? rotation for the bottom half of the page only. For the moment, we are making a page with 2 grids, but we don't know how to rotate the second grid. There is perhaps a better solution.

Is there any way you can show me some screen shots of what you're getting now and what you're wanting to get? I'm not totally sure I'm understanding. Thanks!

Take a look at this marketplace post:

It includes a rotated text control that you might be able to use to do this.
