R help - Dec 2009 - Aligning Diagonally Oriented Labels Under Bar Chart

I searched the forms (i.e., R Search)?and come up with the following suggested
link:
?http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f

I tried to implement what I believe was being implied by that URL and came up
with the below:

barplot(WorldPhones[1,], 
??????? ylim=c(0, 50000),
??????? axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE, 
??????? col=terrain.colors(length(WorldPhones[1,])), 
??????? xaxt = "n",? xlab = "")

text(1:dim(WorldPhones)[1], par("usr")[3] - 0.1, srt = 45, adj = 1,
???? labels = as.character(colnames(WorldPhones)), xpd = TRUE)

box()


Unfortunately the labels are not aligned with the appropriate bars.? I believe I
am missing something small in order to have the text properly aligned underneath
the appropriate bars.??

Are there any suggestions for correcting this mis-alignment?? 

Thank you again for any additional feedback, links, hints or insights.?

Is this an example of what you want?

temp <- barplot(3:17)
text(temp, rep(-0.5, length(3:17)), LETTERS[3:17], srt=45, adj=1)

HTH ....
