Thanks very much John, that works. I had tried using las=1 inside the dotchart function itself, but it seems to be one of those occasions where the par parameter is over-ridden by the main plotting function. You can see the results here: http://www.stubbornmule.net/2009/10/asylum-seekers/ Now if only I can nudge the labels a little further to the right... Regards, Sean.
