How to rotate the x-axis labels 90 degrees in levelplot

Question

I'm trying to visualize a correlation map, and I think that I've gotten it to work, except for the jumbling of the x-axis labels. Any suggestions for how to rotate them? Some of the parameters for many of the Base R plots don't seem available for levelplots. It's possible that I don't know what I'm talking about.

This is the data I used:

cor2<-structure(c(1, -0.0389681095266643, -0.0389681095266643, 0.178476154216706,

#this is what I tried, and it didn't work. I couldn't get names(cor2) to work, but I guess that this is a separate question.
labs<- (cor2[,0])
text(cex=1, x=x-0.25, y=-1.5, labs, xpd=TRUE, srt=90)

##want something like this, but can't find an analogous way to remove axisnames and add text
#x <- barplot(table(mtcars$cyl),axisnames=FALSE)#,xaxt="n" 
#labs <- paste(names(table(mtcars$cyl)), "cylinders")
#text(cex=1, x=x-0.25, y=-1.5, labs, xpd=TRUE, srt=90)

Answer 1

As far as the rotation of the x-axis labels go, you have to use parameter scales (see ?xyplot for more information on lattice parameters). You want to modify only its x component: scales=list(x=list(rot=90)). In context:

levelplot(cor2,
          aspect="iso", scales=list(x=list(rot=90)),
          main="Correlation Matrix", col.regions=rgb.palette(120),
          cuts=100, at=seq(0,1,0.01))
