The orientation you had before was correct.  i.e., the previous pscairo
results and also ps and psttf view correctly under gv _only_ when you change
its view to landscape.

In the future, once you get the PLplot -portrait mode to work for pscairo,
then those results (and also ps and psttf with -portrait mode) will view
correctly under gv only when you use its (default) portrait mode.
