R help - Apr 2007 - graphics question: tilted axis labels?

Dear experts,

Is there a way to change the angle in which the axes are labeled?

I would like to draw a barplot where items are countries and, in  
order to fit the country?s names in, tilt these names about 45?. Is  
this possible? I cannot find any examples in the docs.

Thanks for your help!!!
Christoph

I´m sorry, I did not provide any code.

Here is now a small example:

# create data frame
  LA <- data.frame(countries=c("Chile", "Peru",
"Bolivia"), values=c
(10, 12, 13))
# call barplot
  barplot(LA$values, names.arg=LA$countries)
# Countries names are not plotted, but their index numbers instead.
# So again the question:
# How can I tilt the angles in order to make whole names fit?

Thanks
Christoph

I think it is in the FAQ :

Hope that helps,
