plot vertical labels along x axis
If you want an angle other than vertical, the problem is harder. The
argument "srt" works with "axis" in S-Plus 6.1 but not in R.
Consider the following:
plot(1:2)
text(1:2, rep(2, 2), c("adsf", "qwer"), srt=45)
If all you want is vertical, then you don't want this. However, this
provides another range of options.

Subject: [R] plot vertical labels along x axis
I know how to print my own labels along the x axis:
plot(1:10,xlab = "My label", axes = FALSE)
axis(1,at=seq(1,10,by=2),labels=c("first","second","third","fou
rth","fifth"))
Is there a way to make the labels print vertically along the
axis rather than
horizontally? (I'm not sure if this is even going to look all
right, but I
want to check it out if it is possible.)

Try this sequence:
plot(1:10,xlab = "My label", axes = FALSE)
axis(1, at=seq(1,10,by=2),
labels=c("first","second","third","fourth","fifth"), las = 2)
See ?par for more information on the use of the 'las = 2' argument,
which sets the labels to be printed perpendicular to the axis.
Hope that helps,
Marc Schwartz
