Hello,

I really enjoy using R for my plotting. I have a modest plot, containing 24 data points, across 2 lines,12 points each. Ideally, the x-axis would be labeled with a series of strings, oriented vertically. Here is the R container holding the Search strings:

 > Search
[1] Route To: NCENGR Status: Open CR Route To: NCENGR [3] Status: Cancel Route To: TEST1 Status: ENG REQ Route To: TDELLE [5] (*) Customer Name: * (*) Customer Name: S*IT* [7] (*) Customer Name: SMITH (*) Address: 1*** [9] (*) Address: 1** S**** ST Route To: NCS [11] Route To: NCS From Date: 01/01/2000 Name: SMITH 12 Levels: (*) Address: 1** S**** ST (*) Address: 1*** ... Status: Open CR Route To: NCENGR


Is there a function to define the x-axis, using the above 12 strings as axis tick labels, from 1 - 12, vertically oriented? Any help would be appreciated, as my current work around is tedious, and not asthetically pleasing.

plot(1:12, axes=F)
axis(1, at=1:12, labels=c('one','two','three','four','five','six',
              'seven', 'eight', 'nine','ten','eleven','twelve'), las=2)
axis(2)
box()


You'll probably need bigger margins for your longer strings.
