Syntax: ANGLE expr For most purposes, only the first element of the expr is used, let's call it D, as it's an angle in degrees. ANGLE will cause text from LABEL to come out D degrees anticlockwise from horizontal. It also causes points to be rotated counter-clockwise by D. If D is non-zero it will be applied to axis labels (note that 360 is non-zero). For plotting points the full vector of values is used, with each point rotated by the corresponding element of expr. If more points are specified than the dimension of expr, the first element will be used for the excess.
