How do I shift the axes labeling in matlab?

By axis labeling, I mean the values (1,2,3,...10) written below the x-axis. I want to shift it down.Using the following code, I am able to shift the axis name down.

xlabh = get(gca,'xlabel');
set(xlabh,'Position',get(xlabh,'Position') - [0 0.005 0]);

Do you perhaps mean

ax = gca; % Get handle to current axes.
ax.XAxisLocation = 'origin'; % Put ticks and labels next to x axis instead of outside the box.

You cannot control the position of the tick labels. Does changing the tick length help? https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/numericruler-properties.html#property_d0e696160

Perhaps you can change the tick format to '\n%g'?
