[R] rotated ylab with xyplot

2005-11-28 Thread Viet Nguyen 
hi all,

in R, what's the best way to have a rotated ylab in a graph plotted with 
either xyplot or xYplot?  I tried this but it didn't work.

xyplot(y~x,data.frame(x=1:10,y=runif(10)),ylab=list(srt=90,crt=90,rot=90,label=my
 label))


more generally, how do you output a text at an angle in a lattice graph?

what would be a good reference for R lattice graphics?  I need more help 
than the help pages provide.

thank you in advance.

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.
