Is there a way similar to AXIS to actually draw an tilted axis with a given angle and position? It would come with all the ticks and labels tilted in the right way.

No, sorry. The AXIS command just gives orthogonal axes, I think.

Cheers,

Thanks, I can see that PlotS is able to draw some symbols on a plotted line, it seems a lot of bother to give the symbols followed with labels generated by XYOUTS. Is there a way similar to AXIS to actually draw an tilted axis with a given angle and position? It would come with all the ticks and labels tilted in the right way.

Basically, I have a correlation of two decaying chemicals and I am trying to label the correlation line so that I am able to give a ruler of the aging on the plot.

The PlotS or cgPlotS commands are used to draw lines in
a graphics display.

Cheers,
