If you insert `\n` between each letter, then it should do what you
want with a single call to text or mtext. To expand on David's
example:
plot(1:10)
text(5,5, paste( strsplit(txvec, ''), collapse='\n') )

Try this,
rotate = function(x) paste(strsplit(x,)[[1]],collapse=\n)
t - this is a text
plot.new()
text(1/2,1/2,t)
par(lheight=0.8)
text(1/2,1/2,rotate(t))

In fact it could be made even easier:
Hello,
(You forgot to unlist() the result of strsplit.)
Another way, saving some space between characters is to use strheight().
rotate90 - function(x, y, label){
label - unlist(strsplit(label, ''))
y - y - (seq_along(label) - 1)*strheight(label)
list(x=x, y=y,
8 matches
