Hello,
I posted the answer some weeks ago - forgive my repetition, but now the old
article follows:

A way to do this with LIVE_STYLE is:

IDL> x = findgen(10) ; only for example...
IDL> y = sin(x)
IDL> style=live_style('plot',$
xaxis_properties={axis:'Independent Variable'})
IDL> live_plot,y,independent=x,style=style

This works also for the yaxis:

IDL> style=live_style('plot',$
yaxis_properties={axis:'Dependent Variable'})
IDL> live_plot,y,independent=x,style=style
