title string on vertical colorbar - MATLAB & Simulink MATLAB wants to put this above the colorbar (!) where it runs into the plot title. I can rotate the text. h = colorbar; set (get (h,'title'),'string','ISCCP Daytime Sc Amount (%)','Rotation',90.0); but it's still centered up above the vertical colorbar. Trying to calculate a position for it in colorbar-relative coordinates is a real pain.
