In response to this question and the question about
mirror image values on the contour command from a few
days ago, I was reading this article again about
how to reverse an object graphics axis:

Yep. As I remember, it's not as easy as you might
think! :-)

But I did learn you can't do both the title and the
axis annotation together.

Cheers,

David
