Yes, I misunderstood your original question. Sorry.

In direct graphics, the only way to do this would be in two steps in
which you draw the axis title in the second step with cgText or its
equivalent. The difficulty here is that the algorithm for where to place
the title text seems very difficult to come by. At least it has eluded
me for quite a number of years now. Of course, I have been known to be a
little overly anal about this kind of thing, so you might have better
luck. :-)

Cheers,

David
