R help - Jul 2004 - Vertical text in plot

Hallo!
Would like to add vertical text labels to a histogram. Was trying with las but
without sucess.
I am using the standard histogram.
This is what I was trying.

hist(resS2$sam,breaks=seq(0,1,0.01),col=3,border=0,freq=F,add=T,xlim=c(0,1))
text(quantile(resS2$dif,0.005),5, "0.5% FP rate" ,pos=2,cex=0.6,las=2)

Thanks in advance.

Hi Eryk!

Try using 'srt' instead of 'las', which is for the axis labels.

For example:

text(quantile(resS2$dif, 0.005), 5, "0.5% FP rate", 
     pos = 2, cex = 0.6, srt = 90)

See ?par for more information.
