AxesOrigin

AxesOrigin
is an option for graphics functions which specifies where any axes drawn should cross.

In 2D graphics, AxesOrigin->{x, y} specifies that the axes should cross at the point {x, y}.

In 3D graphics, AxesOrigin->{x, y, z} specifies that the axes should cross at the point {x, y, z}.

In 2D graphics, AxesOrigin->Automatic uses an internal algorithm to determine where the axes should cross. If the point is within, or close to, the plotting region, then it is usually chosen as the axes origin.

In contour and density plots, AxesOrigin->Automatic puts axes outside the plotting area.

In 3D, AxesEdge specifies on which bounding box edge the axes should be drawn:
