Vertical Table Header Cell Renderer

I used the Vertical Table Header Cell Renderer that is available in this site here It works great for me but I need a clue on how can I have in some headers that are vertically aligned multiple rows like this you can see in the image of the example (Coordinate Geometry). I tried to set the strings with the appropriate \n character but I think my approach is very simplistic and wrong. Please keep it simple. Thank you!

From Joop answer, I made this. Instead of changing the label directly you can keep your \n.

In your file DefaultTableHeaderCellRenderer.java, replace getTableCellRendererComponent with this method :

    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
              boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {

          String str = (value == null) ? "" : value.toString();
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(str));
            String line;
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("<HTML>");
            try {
                while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    sb.append(line).append("<br/>");
                }
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
            sb.append("</HTML>");
        super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, sb,
                isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
        JTableHeader tableHeader = table.getTableHeader();
        if (tableHeader != null) {
          setForeground(tableHeader.getForeground());
        }
        setIcon(getIcon(table, column));
        setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
        return this;
      }

In front put <html> to make it HTML text, and use <br> (line break) instead of \n.
