I don't see an alternative to text(), but the positioning is not
that difficult:
oldpar <- par(mar=c(5.1, 4.1, 4.1, 4.1))
plot(0)
axis(4)
text(par("usr")[2], mean(par("usr")[3:4]), "TEXT",
srt=-90, adj=c(.5,-4), xpd=TRUE)
par(oldpar)

Subject: [R] labels on right y-axis
OS X
R 3.0.2
Colleagues,
I am displaying two sets of values changing over time; as a
result, I have two y-axes. I add a label for the right-side Y
axis with mtext(side=3, line=1.2, TEXT). The text is parallel
to the axis -- so far, so good. However, the text is rotated
counterclockwise from horizontal, whereas I would like it
rotated clockwise.
Neither srt nor las fixes this. I guess that one convoluted
approach would be to use "text" rather than "mtext". However,
positioning would be a nuisance and the xpd option would be
needed. Is there any simpler approach?
