Description

Hi @cwensley, Is there a way to generate a rotated table / GridView in Eto.Forms? If not - do you see a better way to implement this other than building this from scratch in a drawable? I am including an image of what I was looking for. 8ae3ac7e-232a-4f3e-9ed8-c1ab6816316e Image is copied from https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=rotatedwpfdatagrid

Research direction
Investigate the existing GridView implementation in Eto.Forms, particularly the GridViewHandler classes for each platform. The issue asks for a rotated table, which may require custom drawing using the Graphics class. Consider referencing the linked RotatedWPFDataGrid project for inspiration. Since there is only one comment (likely a maintainer response), check that comment for additional guidance. Focus on how to modify the rendering pipeline to support rotation, possibly by creating a custom cell renderer.
