Moving the labels of the z axis to the back of the 3D graph

In a 3D plot such as the one produced by scatter3, the labels of the z axis are displayed on the left of the plot. Is there a way to have the labels on the z axis at the back side of the plot? I want to show the students the origin of the 3D plot and the default view of 3D plots where the labels are shown on the left is giving me a hard time.

It's an undocumented feature

The XRuler property is called XAxis in later releases. Something like this should work:

hAxis=axes;
scatter3(1,1,1)
hAxis.ZAxis.FirstCrossoverValue  = hAxis.XLim(2); 
hAxis.ZAxis.SecondCrossoverValue = hAxis.XLim(2);

Thanks! Awesome solution!
