[R] Vertical string with horizontal letters

[Tyler Rinker]

One possible solution is to use strsplit to break on each character and then paste to put in a "\n" after each character.  Then when you plot the text should be in the format you desire.
x <- "output"y <- unlist(strsplit(x, NULL))p <- cat(paste(y, collapse="\n"))
plot.new()text(.5, .5, paste(y, collapse="\n"))
