How to Rotate Axis Labels in ggplot2?.

Axis labels on graphs must occasionally be rotated.

Let’s look at how to rotate the labels on the axes in a ggplot2 plot.

Change axis tick mark labels

p + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(face = "bold", color = "red",
size = 12, angle = 45),
axis.text.y = element_text(face = "bold", color = "blue",
size = 12, angle = 45))
