How to show vertical text with proper size/layout in jetpack compose

My version. After a few tests it seems to work pretty well

class ComposeActivity7 : ComponentActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        setContent {
            ComposeTutorialTheme {

                Column(
                    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
                    horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
                ) {
                    Text(
                        modifier = Modifier
                            .padding(4.dp)
                            .background(Color.Gray),
                        text = "This is at the top"
                    )

                    Row(
                        modifier = Modifier
                            .fillMaxWidth()
                            .weight(1f),
                        verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically
                    ) {
                        Text(
                            modifier = Modifier
                                .vertical()
                                .rotate(-90f)
                                .background(Color.Gray)
                                .padding(4.dp),
                            text = "This should be vertical text on the left side"
                        )
                        Text(
                            modifier = Modifier
                                .fillMaxSize()
                                .background(Color.Yellow),
                            textAlign = TextAlign.Center,
                            text = "This is a big yellow box that should take up most of the space"
                        )
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

fun Modifier.vertical() =
    layout { measurable, constraints ->
        val placeable = measurable.measure(constraints)
        layout(placeable.height, placeable.width) {
            placeable.place(
                x = -(placeable.width / 2 - placeable.height / 2),
                y = -(placeable.height / 2 - placeable.width / 2)
            )
        }
    }
