The same concept for rotating axis labels in a regular plot per the FAQ
can be used in a barplot, as long as you know that barplot() returns the
bar midpoints. So:
## Increase bottom margin to make room for rotated labels
par(mar = c(7, 4, 4, 2) + 0.1)
## Create plot and get bar midpoints in 'mp'
mp <- barplot(1:10)
## Set up x axis with tick marks alone
axis(1, at = mp, labels = FALSE)
## Create some text labels
labels <- paste("Label", 1:10, sep = " ")
## Plot x axis labels at mp
text(mp, par("usr")[3] - 0.5, srt = 45, adj = 1,
labels = labels, xpd = TRUE)
## Plot x axis label at line 4
mtext(1, text = "X Axis Label", line = 4)
See ?barplot for more information.
With respect to the log scales, you would need to use barplot2(), which
is in the 'gplots' package on CRAN. barplot2() supports log scales using
the same 'log' argument as plot().
