You could use the T3D procedure to determine the transformation matrix
and apply the T3D keyword in XYOUTS procedure to active the
transformation.
Maybe you could try ANNOTATE procedure, too.

Greetings--
My solution in these circumstances, is to plot all of the plots with
no Y title, and then put in an explicit XYOUTS call at the end to
label the Y axis. [ I suppose this is what you are trying to do, but
it's not totally clear. ]
The ORIENTATION keyword to XYOUTS allows you to specify an angle for
the text. It is documented.
Also, I often use XMARGIN or YMARGIN when I need to allow extra space
around a given plot.
Yours,
Craig
