Try library(grid) xyplot(y~x,data.frame(x=1:10,y=runif(10)), ylab=textGrob(label="my label", rot=0))
Note in the ?xyplot the xlab/ylab section points to the 'main' parameter where it defines that a list can be used, however string rotation parameters are not in the list. The helpfile notes that a grob object can be used. The reference for lattice and grid is R Graphics by Paul Murrell. --Matt > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Viet Nguyen > Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 8:33 PM > To: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: [R] rotated ylab with xyplot > > > hi all, > > in R, what's the best way to have a rotated ylab in a graph > plotted with > either xyplot or xYplot?
