Hi!

I like to plot a raster array but for its elements it does not make 
sense to be described by numbers. Therefore I've labeled the frameticks 
manually and tried to rotate the labels to avoid overwriting for large 
arrays.

e.g.:

Show[Graphics[RasterArray[{{Hue[0.5], Hue[1]}}]],
   Frame -> True,
   FrameTicks -> {{{0.5, StyleForm["some text",
                                   FontVariations->{RotationAngle->90}]},
                   {1.5, StyleForm["some more text",
                                   FontVariations->{RotationAngle->90}]},
                  None,None,None}
]

I don't get any error messages but the plot looks the same as without 
the use of StyleForm[...].

I do not find any help in the help browser. Does anyone have any 
suggestions?

Thanks,
Carsten
