labeling x-axis vertically

[Vimal B]

Hi,

I have a bar plot where the x-axis contains names of countries. I've been trying to rotate the labeling of each bar to 90 degrees so that they are labelled vertically and not achieved it. Any suggestions on how to do it? I tried using the space="free" option in the facet_grid() option for the graph and it only helped in spacing out the labels and nothing more.

Here is the graph code:-

print(ggplot(data=regqual.comp,aes(x=country,y=estimate))+geom_bar(stat="identity",position="dodge",fill="black")+labs(x=NULL,y="Regulatory Quality")+facet_grid(year~.,scales="free",space="free"))

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Vimal

Hi,

I guess you are searching for
+ opts(axis.text.x = theme_text(angle = 75)
