Editor's Note: This file was a File Exchange Pick of the Week

A modified version of XTICKLABEL_ROTATE90, this version allows for arbitrary angle rotation and most importantly the use of text labels. In addition, an attempt is made to adjust the size and placement of the axis and xlabel to accommodate the new labels.
Example : %Use text labels rotated 45° without tex interpreter
boxplot(randn(5,5),1)
xticklabel_rotate([1:5],45,{'label_1','label_2','label_3','label_4','label_5'},'interpreter','none')
