[R] mtext and srt

[Richards, Tom]

Hello:

I am trying to get some text at an angle in the margins of a plot.  I was
accustomed under older versions of Splus to using srt in the mtext command,
but that seems not to work under R,

> version
         _              
platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch     x86            
os       Win32          
system   x86, Win32     
status                  
major    1              
minor    3.0            
year     2001           
month    06             
day      22             
language R              

I see documented in ?mtext that one can use the las parameter to get text
either parallel to or perpendicular to the axis in question, but is there
any way to get other angles as well?  I want the two letter "X"'s to have
the same angle in the following:

plot(1:10,1:10)
text(5,5,"X",srt=30)
mtext("X",side=3,at=5,srt=30)

Can this be done in R?  Thanks for your response.
