[R] graphics question: tilted axis labels?

[Charilaos Skiadas]

Your problem is different I think, it's the fact that LA$countries is  
a factor, and hence you see the factor levels instead of their  
labels. Try:

# create data frame
   LA <- data.frame(countries=c("Chile", "Peru", "Bolivia"), values=c
(10, 12, 13), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
# call barplot
barplot(LA$values, names.arg=LA$countries)
