How to align my X, Y, Z axes labels and have consistent spacing!

Hi guys,

I am trying to find a way to beautify my 3d surface plots. I have the example surface below. Is there anyway that the axes labels can be rotated so that they are parallel to the angle of the axes that they are a label to? For example, I want the X LABEL to run parallel to the x axis itself? and the same for the other 3? I want this alignment to be maintained when you increase the plot window and change aspect ratio of the plot.

Lastly, I would like for there to be EQUAL DISTANCE between all three labels and their corresponding axes. For example, I want the distance between X LABEL and x-axis to be the same as the distance between Y LABEL and y-axis and Z LABEL and z-axis. Again, I would want this distance maintained if the aspect ratio of the figure is changed or the size of it increases or not.

Thank you

xlabel('X Label', 'fontweight', 'bold');
ylabel('Y Label', 'fontweight', 'bold');
zlabel('Z Label', 'fontweight', 'bold');

Did you see "axis equal"? It says "Use the same length for the data units along each axis." Is that what you want?

Not quite.

I want to make so that the distance between Z LABEL and Z AXIS, Y LABEL and Y AXIS, and X LABEL and X AXIS = the same.

I don't know how much control we have for how far away the axis label is from the axis itself. Can you post a screenshot showing how the labels are drastically different in how far they are from their respective axes?
