Create year list with verticle years

[Jerry8989]

Hello,

 

I'm new to paint.net and I'm trying to create a year list from 1970 - 2007.  I would like the years to be vertical so the 1 is at the bottom and the 0 is at the top for 1970.  I want to add a pipe character to separate the years.   Is there a systemic way to do this where every year is positioned and looks like the others?  What would be the best way to create this image?

Programmatically, perhaps?

void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect)
{
    int startYear = 1980;
    int endYear = 2017;

    dst.CopySurface(src, rect.Location, rect);

    using (Graphics g = new RenderArgs(dst).Graphics)
    {
        g.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;
        g.Clip = new Region(rect);

        using (Font font = new Font("Arial", 16))
        {
            SizeF textDims = g.MeasureString("8", font);

            int indent = 5;
            for (int year = startYear; year <= endYear; year++)
            {
                string yearString = string.Join("\n", year.ToString().ToCharArray().Reverse());

                g.DrawString(yearString, font, System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, indent, 5);
                indent += (int)textDims.Width + 5;
                g.DrawLine(Pens.Black, indent, 0, indent, textDims.Height * 4);
                indent += 5;
            }
        }
    }
}

Thank you for the reply Toe.  I actually just figured out a way to do it, but it isn't with paint.net.  I used excel to set it up and then created a screen shot of that and edited to make it fit.

 

Thank you
