How to change the direction of axis name?

I have the following graph. I want "X-Direction" and "Y-Direction" to be written parallel to the lines of the 3D figure, just like "Pressure (kPa)" along the z axis. Right now they are placed horizontally and don't look good. Any suggestions please?

xlabel('X-Direction','rotation',20)
ylabel('Y-Direction','rotation',-20)

Thanks a ton!

No problem--btw, they're text objects so all associated properties are available. It's kinda' a tangled link to get there from where you would normally start with axes or somesuch, but eventually you can drill down if keep following the properties links...

Got it. Cheers!
