How can I keep the yaxis label inside rather than outside

How can I keep the yaxis label inside rather than outside

You could play around with the "Position" field of the text structure of the label.

See below

plot(1:10,1:10)
xlabel('xlabel')
yl = ylabel('ylabel');

yl.Position

ans = 1×3

-0.6180 5.5000 -1.0000

plot(1:10,1:10)
xlabel('xlabel')
yl = ylabel('ylabel');
a = gca;
a.YRuler.TickLabelGapOffset = -15;

Warning: Error updating Axes.

Update failed for unknown reason.

% yl.Position = [1 5.5000 -1];

How can you put the tick level (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) inside in yaxis with the ticks rather than outside?

Changed the answer, that's the only way I know of.

Other possibility, a bit cumbersome I'd say

plot(1:10,1:10)
xlabel('xlabel')
ylabel('ylabel')
a = gca;
a.YTickLabels = {''};
a.YLabel.String = {''};
axis([0 11 0 11])
t1 = text(0.025*diff(a.XLim)*ones(10,1),(1:10)',num2cell(1:10));
t2 = text(0.075*diff(a.XLim),5.5,'Ylabel');
t2.Rotation = 90;
t2.HorizontalAlignment =  'center';
