Crossing axis and labels in matlab

Question

I just can't find it. How to set up axis and labels in matlab so they cross at zero point, with the labels just below the axis not on left/bottom of the plot ?

If I didn't make myself clear - I just want the plot to look like like we all used to draw it when in school. Axes crossing, 4 quadrants, labels right below axis, curve ... as it goes.

Anyone knows how to set it up ?

You should check out two submissions on The MathWorks File Exchange:

• PlotAxisAtOrigin by Shanrong Zhang
• axescenter by Matt Fig

Hopefully these will work with whatever MATLAB version you have (the submission from Matt Fig is the most recently updated one).
