OK, how about this. Compare these two plots:

g = Plot[x^3, {x, -10, 10}, Ticks -> {Table[{n, n}, {n, 0, 10}], 
Automatic}];

with


g = Plot[x^3, {x, -10, 10}, DisplayFunction -> Identity,
     Ticks -> {Table[{n, n}, {n, 0, 10}], Automatic}];

h = g /. {(x_)?NumberQ, (y_)?NumberQ} :> {-x, y};

Show[h, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction]
