I have angled some test to be parallel to the slope of a line. It tuns out that the text is only parallel if scaling = constrained is used. That is not necasserily pratical for many plots. In prcttice I have a nice proedure for this. Is there any way to pickup the plot x-y scaling factor that maple decides on so I could built that into the procedure. I have manually rescaled her to demonstrate.
mmm...I see the website viewer does not rotate the text.

#scaling factor looks to be 1.5 i.e.delta(x)/delta(y) (2.5-1)/{3/2)
