Moving the position of the colorbar label

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to move the position of the decimal power in the colorbar axis shown in the figure attached to this post ? More specifically, I want to move a little bit on the left.

Thank you in advance for your help,

Sincerely.

It is possible to do so. I found out how from this answer.

figure
surf(1e7*peaks)
c = colorbar;
drawnow()

c.Ruler.SecondaryLabel.Units = 'normalized';
c.Ruler.SecondaryLabel.Position = [1 0.9];

I tried to run this code here, but got an error message. (According to this question, it seems there is a problem running code at Answers at the moment.) It runs on my local machine, though. In this case, I moved the label down from the default position. Adjust as you see fit.

@the cyclist thank you very much : it is exactly what I needed and to be honest I didn't know that Matlab could offer that level of customization ! Thank you again !
