Hi
I do not recall ever using crt. A grep of the source code suggests that
no user-level functions ever refer to it either. In other words, it
appears to be basically unimplemented.
Specifically with regard to text in the margins of a base plot, in
addition to every function ignoring crt, only the text() function
listens to srt (and that draws in the plot region, not the margins);
mtext() (for margin text) only listens to las, so can only do horizontal
or vertical.

Thanks, Bert. I *did* mean crt, and I did read (and re-read) the man
page. What I'm lacking, and the only thing I'm asking for, is a
working example of the use of that parameter.

Hard to know what you want or did without code.
But, a guess: did you want the "srt" parameter and not "crt"?
Of course, it's always useful to read the man page, in this case for
?par, where it says:
(for crt): "A numerical value specifying (in degrees) how **single
characters** should be rotated. It is unwise to expect values other
than multiples of 90 to work. Compare with srt which does string
rotation." [note: "string" = several characters = text]
Cheers,
Bert

Hi, folks. This is an issue that we've defined away, but I recently
thought it would be useful to rotate characters in some marginal text
in a base-R plot. I made a few stabs on using the "crt" parameter but
was unsuccessful.
I'm deliberately omitting details of my attempts, as I want just to
focus on the following: if you know of any working example of the use
of that parameter. will you please send me a link to it? Thanks.
