[R] ggplot - axis labels angle

[hadley wickham]

Hi Bernd,

Something like:

qplot(mpg, wt, data=mtcars)
grid.gedit("xaxis::label::text", rot=45)

should do the trick.  The only problem is that the automatic sizing is
set up to work with one orientation of labels.  You might be able to
fudge a solution by experimenting with hjust and vjust, and
xlab="\n\nMy label"
