Have you tried the adj parameter in par as in axis(side=3,at=0:100/100,labels=0:100,las=2,cex.axis=0.1, adj = 0.5)

I have two question that rose from trying to tacle the same problem in two differnet ways. What I want to do is to plot axes (only values or labels, no tick marks) in such a way that 'cex' can be very small, text can be perpendicular to the axis (as in axis(las=2) ) and the text is stil at the right position. Let me demonstrate with a small example: plot(0:100/100,0:100/100,axes=FALSE) axis(side=3,at=0:100/100,labels=0:100,las=2,cex.axis=0.1) The text on the axis should be at the same points as tick marks, but it is shifted right. I tried to bypas the problem by using function 'text', which puts the text at the correct positions, however, it has another problem. I would like to rotate the text, but if I use 'str=90' (to rotate the text for 90 degrees), I get a warning massage: Warning message: parameter "str" couldn't be set in high-level plot() function This suprises me, since if I read the help correctly ('?par'), then this should not happen. So if anyone can either hepl me to rotate the text in 'text' or to correctly plot the text in 'axis', I would be very grateful.
