How to show an individual YTickLabel to the right of the single Y axis?

Hello,
I would like to place an YTickLabel to the right of the Y axis. Currently, my figure looks like this:
![](/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/119487/Bildschirmfoto_2018-05-29_19-51-34.png)
Now, I would like to move the lower label $-M_{r0}$ (which is overlapping with the graph) to the right of the Y axis. How can I achieve that? Thanks!
Here's my MWE:
close all; set(groot, 'defaultAxesTickLabelInterpreter','latex');
figure1=figure('Position',[320 50 600 450]); axes1=axes('Parent',figure1,'FontSize',14); o=linspace(-5,5,1000); M=sign(o).*(10+o.^2); plot1=plot(o,M,'Parent',axes1,'LineWidth',2); set(plot1,'Color',[1 0 0]); ylabel('Torque $M_r(\omega)$','FontSize',14,'Interpreter','latex'); xlabel('Velocity $\omega$','FontSize',14,'Interpreter','latex'); title('');
set(gca,'xtick',[],'xticklabel',[]); set(gca,'ytick',[-10,10],'yticklabel',{'\fontsize{14pt}{17pt}$-M_{r0}$','\fontsize{14pt}{17pt}$M_{r0}$'}); set(gca,'XAxisLocation','origin','YAxisLocation','origin'); axp=get(gca,'Position'); % needed to put arrows in the right position annotation('arrow', [axp(1) axp(1)+axp(3)],[axp(2)+axp(4)/2 axp(2)+axp(4)/2]); annotation('arrow', [axp(1)+axp(3)/2 axp(1)+axp(3)/2],[axp(2) axp(2)+axp(4)]); box off;

Instead of using ylabel to write the labels, use annotation to place the labels at the required position. For example,
set(gca,'ytick',[],'yticklabel',[]); % remove the yticks
annotation('textbox', 'String', '\fontsize{14pt} -M_{r0}', 'Position', [0.5, 0.4 0.1 0.1], 'EdgeColor', [1 1 1])
annotation('textbox', 'String', '\fontsize{14pt} M_{r0}', 'Position', [0.5, 0.6 0.1 0.1], 'EdgeColor', [1 1 1])
You might need to experiment with the position property to get the desired position.
Edit: To keep the location of labels linked with your graph values, use the following statements
text('String', '\fontsize{14pt} -M_{r0}', 'Position', [1 -3])
text('String', '\fontsize{14pt} M_{r0}', 'Position', [1 3])
Here Position property specifies the x and y data value on the graph, not the normalized coordinates (0 to 1) as required by annotation(). So if the axis limit change, these labels will also change accordingly.
