Hi, Consider this simple plot:> plot(1:25,runif(25,0,1),ylab="First Y-axis label",xaxt="n")I want to add an additional axis as> axis(4,at=seq(0.2,1,.2), labels=1:5)I have no idea how to add now the title of the new axis as "Second Y-axis label". I want this text to be vertically directed from bottom to top. I can't find the function in text() to write vertically. Any ideas? Thanks, Marcin

There is an example in the example section of library(zoo) ?plot.zoo starting at: ## plot with left and right axes On Dec 6, 2007 10:16 AM, Marcin Kozak <nyggus at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi, > > Consider this simple plot: > > plot(1:25,runif(25,0,1),ylab="First Y-axis label",xaxt="n") > > I want to add an additional axis as > > axis(4,at=seq(0.2,1,.2), labels=1:5) > > I have no idea how to add now the title of the new axis as "Second > Y-axis label".
