[R] y axix number into horizontal direction

[Stephen Tucker]

try

par(las=1)
plot(0,0,xaxt="n",type="n", ylim=c(0,100))
mtext("35",side=2,at=35)

you can use 'las=1' in par(), plot(), axis(), etc.

more generally, you can use 'srt' in text() to rotate tick labels:

plot(1:10,1:10,xaxt="n",type="n", yaxt="n",ylim=c(0,100))
axis(1); axis(2,lab=FALSE)
text(x=par("usr")[1]-2*par("cxy")[1],y=axTicks(2),
     lab=axTicks(2),xpd=TRUE,srt=45)
