Can text created with mathtext can be rotated? I am trying

Vertical rotation is not supported yet. I adjust the alignment args
so at least the horizontal ylabels are in the right place
ylabel(r'\\Delta\_\{i\+1\}', fontsize='x-large',
verticalalignment='center',
horizontalalignment='right',
rotation='horizontal'
)
The good news is that Jim Benson just sent me a patch to support
vertical mathtext in *Agg, which will be included in the next release.
