Rotated text with IDL Object Graphics? [message #11722]

I am struggling to get 90 degree rotated text for the
y-axis label on a 2D plot. Can anyone tell me why the
following code snippet doesn't have any effect on how
theta is printed, regardless of the parameters I choose?

symbolfont = obj_new('IDLgrfont', name='symbol',size=26.0)
yaxistext = obj_new('IDLgrtext', 'q', font=symbolfont)

; next 2 lines should set text orientation ...
yaxistext -> setproperty, baseline = [1.0,0.0]
yaxistext -> setproperty, updir = [0.0,1.0]

yaxis -> setproperty, title=yaxistext

Regards,
