I'd like to draw a plot with the $x$ and $y$ axes labeled outside the plot and along the axes (with $y$ axis rotated)--not at the end of each axis--as in this Matlab plot. Moreover, I do not want to use a Frame.

    $\begingroup$ does Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}, FrameLabel -> {{"y-Label", None}, {"x-Label", None}}, Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}}] give what you need? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ also Labeled[Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}], {"x-Label", "y-Label"}, {Bottom, Left}, RotateLabel -> True]? $\endgroup$

You can mimic a plot without a frame using Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}}:

Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}, 
 FrameLabel -> {{"y-Label", None}, {"x-Label", None}}, 
 Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}}]

enter image description here

You can also use Labeled:

Labeled[Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}], 
 {"x-Label", "y-Label"}, 
 {Bottom, Left}, 
 RotateLabel -> True]
