How to set an axes Ylabel to vertical orientation?

Hi anyone,

My application contains a graphic called ‘AxeSpot’. The trouble arises when I try to set the Ylabel. It appears horizontal and not vertical in spite of setting the ‘rotation’ property to ‘90’. To show the graphic I push a button. The button’s callback executes the following code:

% Get the main figure’s handle
hfmain=findobj('Tag','FigMain'); % Main Figure’s handle.

% Create the ‘AxeSpot’ axes (which is a main figure’s child) with certains properties.
h1 = axes('Parent',hfmain, ...
'Units','pixels', ...
'Position',[181 228 177 104], ...
'Tag','AxeSpot', ...
'Color',[1 1 1], ...
'Layer','top', ...
'Visible','on',...
'XColor',[1 1 1], ...
'YColor',[1 1 1]);

hspot=findobj('Tag','AxeSpot'); % This sentence asign a handle to ‘AxeSpot’ axes.
axes(hspot); % This sentence select ‘AxeSpot’ as current axes.
set(hspot,'NextPlot','add'); % This sentence add the nexplot to ‘AxeSpot’ axes.
spot(v_out); % This is the function that show the plot over the %‘AxeSpot’ axes.

% Xlabel
set(get(gca,'XLabel'),...
'String','Altura',...
'Color',[0 0 0.5], ...
'HorizontalAlignment','center', ...
'Visible','on',...
'FontName','MS Sans Serif',...
'Fontsize',6,...
'FontWeight','normal',...
'VerticalAlignment','top');

% Ylabel
set(get(gca,'YLabel'),...
'String','Altura',...
'Color',[0 0 0.5], ...
'HorizontalAlignment','center', ...
'Visible','on',...
'FontName','MS Sans Serif',...
'Fontsize',6,...
'FontWeight','normal',...
'Rotation',90,...
'VerticalAlignment','top');


Why does it not work? Do you know how to solve it?

Thanks a lot,

Cris

Hi,
The normal Ylabel orientation is 90 degrees. If you want to change it set rotation to zero.
