Answer by lawrence for axis alignment for 3D graph using matlab2tikz

I have figured this out, by simply using:

 matlab2tikz('figure2a_2.tikz', 'height', '\figureheight', 'width', '\figurewidth','extraAxisOptions','zticklabel style={/pgf/number format/fixed},ylabel style={yshift=0.9em}');

for the conversion and have

\pgfplotsset{scaled z ticks=false}

in the .tex file setup.Thanks.
