Well, I would use the information in !Y.CRANGE (data
coordinates) or in !Y.WINDOW (normalized coordinates)
to help me align the extra annotation in the Y direction
(ALIGN=0.5 on your XYOUTS command, after you rotate it).

Positioning in the X direction is usually done more
empirically. (That is to say, you have to try it 2-3 times,
usually.) But if you base if off of !X.CRANGE[0] or
!X.WINDOW[0] you can usually find the right place in a matter
of seconds.

Cheers,

David
