How to create a plot with customized axis location?

Hello everyone

I am writing to ask for your help with creating a MATLAB plot with customized axis location. By default the axis location of x and y are placed in bottom and left of the plot box respectively. However I am wondering if there is a way to adjust the axis location to my desired location.

To provide an example I would like to create a plot similar to the one shown in following attached picture (which I took from a book). As you can see, the x axis with its 'tickslabels' is placed in the middle of the box:

However what one usually gets is different from that as shown in following picture [which x axis is placed in the bottom]:

Thank you in advance.

In MATLAB there is no way to change the position of the x-axis on an axes object.

Thank you very much. Actually not the page itself but a link provideed in its comments by Carlos Melo included my answer. Here is the link:

You may move the axis to the origin by setting 'XAxisLocation', or 'YAxisLocation' property to 'origin'.

Otherwise, you have to use some workaround: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/394045-how-can-i-put-the-axis-origin-in-the-middle-of-the-plot

f = figure;
ax = gca;
plot(ax,-10:1:10,-10:1:10);
set(ax,'XAxisLocation','origin');
