Do the rotation in the Text statement.
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10},
Epilog -> {Text[
Style[" Text ", 14, FontFamily -> "Helvetica"], {1, 0.5}, {0,
0}, {1, 3}]}]

Hi,
I want to add text labels on my plots and some of them need to be
rotated. Usually I do it this way, eg.
Show[
Plot[Sin[x],{x,0,10}],
Graphics[Rotate[Text[Style[" Text ",Medium,FontFamily->"Helvetica" ],
{1,0.5}],Pi/4]]
]
But as you can see, the label is distorted. This is not the case if
the aspect ratio of the plot is set to automatic:
Show[
Plot[Sin[x],{x,0,10}, AspectRatio->Automatic],
Graphics[Rotate[Text[Style[" Text ",Medium,FontFamily->"Helvetica" ],
{1,0.5}],Pi/4]]
]
But it is very rare that I can (want to) set the AspectRatio option to
Automatic in my plots.
Is there any way to get the rotated text labels that are not
distorted?
Cheers
Anna
