Hello,
(You forgot to unlist() the result of strsplit.)
Another way, saving some space between characters is to use strheight().
rotate90 <- function(x, y, label){
label <- unlist(strsplit(label, ''))
y <- y - (seq_along(label) - 1)*strheight(label)
list(x=x, y=y, label

If you insert `\n` between each letter, then it should do what you
want with a single call to text or mtext. To expand on David's
example:
plot(1:10)
text(5,5, paste( strsplit(txvec, ''), collapse='\n') )
In fact it could be made even easier:
Try this,
rotate = function(x) paste(strsplit(x,"")[[1]],collapse="\n")
t <- "this is a text"
plot.new()
text(1/2,1/2,t)
par(lheight=0.8)
text(1/2,1/2,rotate(t))
HTH,
