basic text manipulation tutorial

I do not have any experience with Graphics... could any one point me in the direction of a good basic tutorial...

all I want my code to be able to do is take a String rotate it 90 degrees and save as a gif, or jpeg...

this seems like it would be a very easy task however I do not know where to start... any suggestions are appreciated...

thanks
