+Specify ticks and axis label positions for 3D plots
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+You can now specify the positions of ticks and axis labels for 3D plots.
+
+.. plot::
+   :include-source:
+
+   import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+
+   positions = ['default', 'upper', 'lower', 'both', 'none']
+   fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 5, subplot_kw={'projection': '3d'})
+   for ax, pos in zip(axs, positions):
+       for axis in ax.xaxis, ax.yaxis, ax.zaxis:
+           axis._label_position = pos
+           axis._tick_position = pos
+       ax.set(xlabel='x', ylabel='y', zlabel='z', title=pos)
