BTW, could anybody check a few things for me on Matlab?
- does "extent" property takes text rotation into account
- what's the width and height values of "extent" for text using
"data" units and the axes is in 3D view?
- when "units" is set to something different than "data",
what's the "z" value of "position"?

Thanks.
Michael.
