📌 Why this matters

Rotating text transforms cluttered diagrams into clean, professional visuals. When you angle labels along arrows, position titles vertically beside columns, or align text with diagonal elements, you create better visual flow and maximize space usage. Text rotation also prevents overlapping in dense diagrams where horizontal text would collide with other elements. Beyond aesthetics, rotated text helps establish visual hierarchy and guides viewers' eyes through complex processes, making your diagrams easier to follow and more impactful in presentations.
