Help drawing a vertical text?

[decentral1se]

I am unsure whether to use transform=rotate(...), TextPath (only example I can find uses bezier which I don't need) or RotateTranslate? Tried searching around for issues/examples but nothing that cleared it up for me. Just trying to do something like this:

Try this program, which uses TranslateRotate to change the origin to (250,250) (the middle of the canvas), and then rotate the text (now centered at the origin), 90 degrees. See also: https://speakerdeck.com/ajstarks/svgo-code-plus-picture-examples?slide=37

package main

import (
    "os"
    "github.com/ajstarks/svgo"
)

func main() {
    canvas := svg.New(os.Stdout)
    width := 500
    height := 500
    style := "font-size:48pt;fill:white;text-anchor:middle"

    canvas.Start(width, height)
    canvas.Rect(0,0,width,height)
    canvas.Circle(250,250,10,"fill:red")
    canvas.TranslateRotate(250,250,90)
    canvas.Text(0,0, "hello, world", style)
    canvas.Gend()
    canvas.End()
}
