   \item \texttt{rotate}
   
   For output devices that support it, the \texttt{rotate=`1'} attribute rotates
   the tic label.  This is most useful with large lables defined by the
   \textbf{tic} tag described below.
   
 \end{itemize}  \end{itemize}
   
   In addition to specifying regular tic intervals via the attributes of the
   \textbf{xtics} and \textbf{ytics} you can specify arbitrary tic locations
   by enclosing \textbf{tic} tags within the body of these tags.  Each
   \textbf{tic} tag requires the \textbf{location} attribute which specifies the
   location of a tic on the axis.  The body of the tag contains the label of
   that tic.
   
   The \textbf{xtic} or \textbf{ytic}  \texttt{rotate} attribute can rotate
   the label text if the output device supports text rotation.
   If \textbf{tic} tags are embedded within the \textbf{xtic} or \textbf{ytic}
   tags attributes of those tags that specify tic boundaries and interval are
   ignored.  Here's an example of an X axis tic specification in months of the year:
   
   \begin{verbatim}
   ...
   <xtics rotate='on'>
      <tic location='1'>January</tic>
      <tic location='2'>February</tic>
      <tic location='3'>March</tic>
      <tic location='4'>April</tic>
      <tic location='5'>May</tic>
      <tic location='6'>June</tic>
      <tic location='7'>July</tic>
      <tic location='8'>August</tic>
      <tic location='9'>September</tic>
      <tic location='10'>October</tic>
      <tic location='11'>November</tic>
      <tic location='12'>December</tic>
   </xtics>
   <ytics end="6.0" location="border" start="-6.0" 
          increment="1.0" mirror="on" />
   \end{verbatim}
   
   Note that tic locations are completely under your control and do not even have
   to be at regular interevals on the axis if that better suits your needs.
