MATLAB: Rotate ylabel with yyaxis left keep centered and space between yticks

Question

Hello,

I am trying to rotate the ylabel which is place in left y-axis. I use ylabel('C_n^2 (m^{-2/3})','rotation',-90) and it works. However, I also plot the yticks and it overlaps the ylabel with the yticks. Please, see the below picture

So, how can I fix it?

THank you

Answer 1

ylh = ylabel(. . .); 
set(ylh,'rotation',-90,'VerticalAlignment','bottom')

Those properties can also be set directly in ylabel(), too.
