Does matlab use a left handed or right handed coordinate system for the plot3 command?

This will be a really easy question for the well seasoned matlab experts :)
Does matlab use a left handed or right handed coordinate system when the plot3 command is used to create a 3d plot?
I tried running it myself after looking online for the answer, but I kept getting confused with the perspective view. I need to know the system in order to guarantee my normals will be computed correctly.

You may be interested in the function 'view' which allows you to reorient the 3D perspective of three dimensional plots however you prefer.
