Consider the following toy-code:

data = Table[{k, Sin[k], 0}, {k, 0, 1, 0.01}];

ListPointPlot3D[{data},
 PlotStyle -> {Gray, PointSize[Small]},
 Boxed -> False,
 AxesOrigin -> {Floor[Min[data]], Floor[Min[data]], 0},
 AxesLabel -> {"x", "y", "z"}
]

which generates the following plot:

enter image description here

Note that the axis label "y" is inside the plot, i.e. to the right of the axis. How can I get the tick labels as well as the axis label to left of the axis?

There's an AxesEdge option that might be worth exploring:

ListPointPlot3D[{data}, PlotStyle -> {Gray, PointSize[Small]}, 
 Boxed -> False, 
 AxesOrigin -> {Floor[Min[data]], Floor[Min[data]], 0}, 
 AxesLabel -> {"x", "y", "z"},
 AxesEdge -> {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}, {-1, 1}}]

plot

    $\begingroup$ Hmmm, strange. The documentation doesn't say anything that relates label placement to the use of this option. It's purported use is for selecting the location of the axes on the bounding box of the plot. Seems to work, though. $\endgroup$
