R help - Jun 2006 - Rotate numbers on the Y axis on a multiple Boxplot chart

Hello All,

I am  trying to format a box plot chart for a report so it matches other 
charts I have created in other software programs. My problem is that I 
need to rotate the values on the Y axis by 45 degrees, I have tried to 
use the  srt parameter but with no luck?

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Regards,

Daniel

My syntax is as follows:

boxplot(int~sortf,notch=TRUE,outline=FALSE,col="DarkSeaGreen4", ylab =
"Length of stay in days",ylim=c(0, 100),xlab="Trust (see
key)")

See R FAQ 7.27 How can I create rotated axis labels?

The example there is for the x axis, but the same concept applies for y.
