I searched with "print x-axis label in 45 degree" which didn't return useful 
links. Apparently I used poor search keywords.

Although several of the hits in a search on "rotate axis labels" did point to 
the FAQ, there are probably other worked examples you could easily have found in 
the other 130+ hits at Baron's search page (including it appears on a cursory 
examination one from Marc in  each of the last 7 years).
