You might try something like the following:
!P.T = [[0,-1,0,1],[1,0,0,0],[0,0,1,0],[0,0,0,1]]
!P.T3D = 1
!P.NOCLIP = 1
Actually, rather than setting !P.NOCLIP=1, it would be better to calculate what
the correct coordinates for !P.CLIP would be, based on !P.XMARGIN, !P.YMARGIN,
!P.CHARSIZE, etc. I'll leave that part up to you to work out. :^)

In fact Section 13 of the FAQ contains a question on 'Does case matter in IDL?'
Section 14 mentions DEVICE,/LANDSCAPE but contains no information of any real
use for the issue at hand.
Has anyone got any better suggestions?

You might find that Question/Answer 13 in the FAQ (eg comp.lang.idl-pvwave faq)
is what you need. I'm not gonna quote it, because several examples are given
and in addition there is a text page describing what is happening both when
you turn your plot on paper and screen
I found a sample of the faq (using WWW) at
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/
