When plotting 3D graphs in MATLAB, can the x and y axis labels be made flush with the x-y plane, as shown in the figure below?

Thank you to everyone for your answers. I think I’ve found the method that works best for me — simply adjusting the Property Inspector of the figure gives fairly good results.

There are some File Exchange compositions that seem to be able to do it, e.g.,

Thank you very much for your response, but unfortunately, this method doesn't seem to support LaTeX and Times fonts.

If you have a fixed orientation of the axes, try assigning the Orientation or Rotation properties of the tick labels. However I don't think they'll automatically look right if you start interactively spinning the axes around.

Thank you for your response.

@Bruno Luong came up with something similar (How can I rotate the axes' labels parallel to the orientation of the axes?) in 2023. It may not be exactly what you want, however you can experiment with it, and perhaps contact Bruno to see if he can tweak it a bit.

Thank you for your response. The effect of this method seems to be quite similar to manually adjusting the Property Inspector.
