function xticklabel_rotate90(XTick,varargin)
%XTICKLABEL_ROTATE90 - Rotate numeric Xtick labels by 90 degrees
%
% Syntax: xticklabel_rotate90(XTick)
%
% Input:  XTick - vector array of XTick positions & values (numeric)
%
% Output:  none
%
% Example 1:  Set the positions of the XTicks and rotate them
%    figure;  plot([1960:2004],randn(45,1)); xlim([1960 2004]);
%    xticklabel_rotate90([1960:2:2004]);
%    %If you wish, you may set a few text "Property-value" pairs
%    xticklabel_rotate90([1960:2:2004],'Color','m','Fontweight','bold');
%
% Example 2:  %Rotate XTickLabels at their current position
%    XTick = get(gca,'XTick');
%    xticklabel_rotate90(XTick);

%CODE below was modified following suggestions from Urs Schwarz
y=repmat(y,size(XTick,1),1);
% retrieve current axis' fontsize
fs = get(gca,'fontsize');

% Place the new xTickLabels by creating TEXT objects
hText = text(XTick, y, xTickLabels,'fontsize',fs);

% Rotate the text objects by 90 degrees
set(hText,'Rotation',90,'HorizontalAlignment','right',varargin{:})
