Thanks for your response, John. When I tried your 
suggested code, I get the error:

??? There is no 'Rotate' property in the 'text' class.

I'm not sure if your code would allow me to place my axis 
label *outside* of my axes; I know that I have tried 
simply using the ylabel() function, but this doesn't 
display any label. 

 
From the Help pages,

You can rotate axis labels using the Property Editor:

  1. Start plot editing mode by selecting Edit Plot from 
the figure Tools menu.

  2. Display the Property Editor by selecting (left-
clicking) the axis label you want to rotate. Right-click 
over the selected text, then choose Properties from the 
context menu. 

  3. Click the More Properties button to display the 
Property Inspector.

  4. Select the Rotation property text field. A value of 0 
degrees orients the label in the horizontal position.

  5. With the left mouse button down on the selected 
label, drag the text to the desired location and release.


  In my case, for Step (1) my Tools menu doesn't give me 
an Edit Plot choice, and when I display the Property 
Editor, there is no Rotation field... Do you think that 
this is a bug within my version of Matlab/GUIDE?

   Any suggestions? Thanks!
