one of the solutions

plot(1:10);
ah=copyobj(gca,gcf);
set(ah,'xaxislocation','top','yaxislocation','right','color',[1,0,0]); % <- for jan...
disp('cont with any key...');
pause;
uistack(ah,'bottom');

Jan,

Changing the 'HandleVisibility' worked! Thank you very much.

I'm still curious though, isn't there any other way to accomplish this without, essentially, creating another axes? I can change my code to deal with another axes, but if i do not have to, that would be great.

Dear George,

You can remove the original tick labels and replace them by manually created ones. Look in the FEX for "rotate tick" to get some function for rotated tick labels. You can expand these ideas to place the lables on both sides.

Kind regards, Jan
