Any thoughts on what that dirty hack might be or any leads on where to
start? Perhaps a whole new plot region in the margin or something? Is
that even possible? I'm having a difficult time imagining how I can do
this.

Ideas fir ugly hacks:

Either use text() (and you rely on the spacing of the current device) or try to use layout() and small figure at the reight hand size of all the others.

Or go to the grid package and make it less ugly.

Hi all,

I have read through the archives, but can't find a solution to this
problem.

I need the text direction on "dependent B", plotted in margin 4, to go
top to bottom (opposite what it is now). Here's some sample code:

#plot with mtext example

par(mgp = c(2,1,0), mfrow=c(2,2), las=1, mar=c(2,2,2,2), omi=
c(0.5,0.2,0,0.2))

a<-1:10
b<-7:16
c<-21:30

plot(a~b, ylab="", xlab="", xaxt="n")
axis(1, at=b, labels=FALSE, tick=TRUE)
plot(c~b, ylab="", xlab="", xaxt="n", yaxt="n")
axis(1, at=b, labels=FALSE, tick=TRUE)
axis(4, at=c(22,24,26,28,30), labels=TRUE, tick=TRUE)
plot(a~b, ylab="")
plot(c~b, ylab="", yaxt="n")
axis(4, at=c(22,24,26,28,30), labels=TRUE, tick=TRUE)

mtext(side=1, "independent", outer=TRUE, line=1, padj=1)
mtext(side=2, "dependent A", las=0, outer=TRUE, line=0.25)
mtext(side=4, "dependent B", las=0, outer=TRUE, line=0.25)

I have seen an example in help where i can use text and (srt) to
manipulate this with a single panel plot, but not for a multi-panel
example. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


You cannot do that with mtext, you rather need a dirty hack with
text(), I believe.

Best,

Cheers,
