[Gnuplot-info] problem using "set xtics x rotate by 45" when "set xdata time"

[Joe <jo...@fr...>]

I am trying to rotate my xtic labels by 45 degrees.  I can
do this fine when xdata is not set to "time".  If "set
xdata time" I cannot get the labels to rotate.  I am not
sure what to set xtics equal to for time.

set xdata time
set timefmt "%Y/%m"
set xtics [VALUE] rotate by 45
plot "c:\\junk\\plot.dat" using 1:3 with lines

I've tried various numbers for VALUE but it just crashed
gnuplot.  Any tips as to what I am doing wrong?
