I have a bar chart with textual category descriptions on the x-axis that are a bit too long and run into each other. How can set their alignment so they read vertically? This is the same as setting the Alignment propoerty in Excel to +90 degrees.

a hint:
- remove your xticklabels...
- use TEXT setting the rotation prop to 90...

help TEXT;

Thanks. That seems like a very low level way of trying to do something that should be fairly standard. Nevertheless, if I do use text(), how do I place the labels exactly below each bar, short of manually measure the distances?

Another related question - is there a way to place numbers above each bar showing the value of the bar? I guess it's possible to do it using text - but is there anything easier?

Again, my charting bckground is in using Excel, and this isequivalent to turning on "Data Labels" in an Excel chart.

Thanks!
