Changing labels positions in two graphics

Hi,
 I?ve got some problems with the labels of the x-axis 
I,ve got two factors with two categories each: sex (males and females) and
area (central and peninsulae),
but because of the lenngth in  the graphic just appeared two of the four
labels.
I thought the solution could be rotate it 45? degrees, I have read it can be
done with "srt" or "rotate", but I don?t know hoe to use it.

The graphic has been generated like this.
boxplot(log(hemogregarinas+0.5)~area*sex,notch=F,col=(c("white","grey")),ylab="SVL",boxwex=0.4)

Where should i put an order to ratate those labels

I?ve got a similar problem with a pie chart , one of the pieces overlaps
with one label,here?s the order and the pie chart
pie3D(eyspen,labels = lblsp, col=(c("dark grey","white","light
grey")),explode=0.1,main="% of age-sex categories in Peninsulae")

Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

Hi -- these sorts of graphical parameters are documented in ?par, but
it's admittedly somewhat terrifying to try to read (Oh well, the cost
of comprehensiveness)  -- you're looking for either las or (less
likely, but might work if you can draw the labels manually) str, both
documented on that page.

E.g,

boxplot(sample(10, 25, TRUE) ~ sample(paste0(letters[1:4], "defas"),
25, TRUE), las = 2)

Best,
Michael

Have you read FAQ 7.27?
Generally I avoid responding to questions about pie charts. I'm pretty  
sure this is not in base R anyway, so your first duty is to name the  
package from which you have obtained 'pie3d'. (Although, I'm even less  
likely to offer advice about whatever it is supposed to do.)

 > ?pie3d
No documentation for ?pie3d? in specified packages and libraries:
you could try ???pie3d?

Suspecting that this was one of Jim Lemon's efforts, I did see with >   
help(package=plotrix) that plotrix has a 'pie3d' and that it also has  
a 'pie3d.labels' function.
