not sure what you're trying to do but this is the code I use to write vertical text to a specific rectangle (point, size);

XRect spineTitleBox = new XRect(rectangleY, document.width - rectangleX, TitleSize.Width, TitleSize.Height);

// Since you "turn the paper" you're writing to, the Y pos when you hold the paper upright becomes the X pos, and the new Y pos, is the total width of the document - the original X pos.

// set a new xy=0 pos
xgf.TranslateTransform(page.Width/2, page.Height/2);
// turn the paper from the ny xy=0
xgf.RotateTransform(90);
// reset the xy=0 to the upper left corner.
xgf.TranslateTransform(-page.Height/2, -page.Width/2);

// write your stuff
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(book.Title))
{
XBrush brush;
brush = Brushes.Black;

xgf.DrawString(book.Title, spineTitleFont, brush, spineTitleBox, XStringFormat.Center);
}

// set a new yx=0 pos
xgf.TranslateTransform(page.Height/2, page.Width/2);
// turn the paper back
xgf.RotateTransform(-90);
// reset the xy=0 to the upper left corner
xgf.TranslateTransform(-page.Width/2, -page.Height/2);
