AHMI, which is WinForms, doesn't play nice with graphics.  The BasicShape will get you close, but that doesn't allow rotation.  Your best bet is draw without angles.  If you must do angles (45), then the only way I know is to draw in code.

Once you have it drawn, you can make the backcolor any color you want based on a PLC value.

I think i will just leave that graphics on 90° and wont bother anymore with rotation.
Thank you anyway.
