Rotating an NSView

Question

I need to rotate the frame of an instance of NSView in such a way that its width becomes its height and its height becomes its width. The view contains a string and it is important that this string is rotated as well.

I had a look at NSView's setFrameRotation: but this rotates around the frame origin which is not what I want. I suppose that technically my requirement is not a rotation but more a mirroring at a 45 degree angle from the origin.

How can I accomplish this?
