The solution [which you will probably not like], is to export the 
snapshot the textfield
and then rotate it in a dedicated image processing application such as 
GIMP and import
the result.

Obviously that is NBG if you are trying to do that in a standalone, or 
for end-users.

I should also point out that 'rotate' in Livecode gives extremely crappy 
results, while
'set the angle' is much better.

I assume that the text field needs to appear on the screen for the snapshot to work. Hmm, I'll have to think about whether this is ok. Or, perhaps I can make some pre-defined labels that are generic enough and use them for the axis labels (just thinking aloud). That would work.
