[R] setting par(srt) according to plot aspect ratio

How can I look up the aspect ratio of a plot, so I can use that to correctly adjust the angle of text which is supposed to be parallel to a line in the plot? The following example code works for a 1:1 aspect ratio, but puts the text at the wrong angle if the plot region is short and wide or tall
