I think that's not possible with axis().

One way is to use text() as in this quick hack:

 plot(x, y, xaxt="n")
 axis(1, labels=FALSE)
 pr <- pretty(x)
 par(xpd=TRUE)
 text(pr, par("usr")[3], pr, adj=0, srt=-90)

Surely that's not perfect!

Hi all,

I can I rotate the x-axis labels 45 degree in clockwise direction? I`ve
tried
but this gives labels vertical to the axis, and las=0 or las=1 always
parallel axis labels.

Thanks, Sven
