rotate texts

Hi all,

I'm hoping to add texts into a plot. I'm using text() to do it. I  
wonder if
the text() allow me to make the text vertically printed?

This worked in a plot I hapened to have lying around:

text(1,1,"test", srt=90)

If you read the help for text() you come to this bit:

     Text can be rotated by using graphical parameters 'srt' (see
     'par'); this rotates about the centre set by 'adj'.

So setting srt will do it (give rotation in degrees), e.g.

text(2, 2, "Example", srt=90)
