AxesLabel

AxesLabel
is an option for graphics functions that specifies labels for axes.

MORE INFORMATION

The following settings can be used:

	None	no labels
	label	label for y in 2D or z in 3D
	{lbl_x,lbl_y}	labels for x and y
	{lbl_x,lbl_y,lbl_z}	labels for x, y and z
	Automatic	labels based on variables specified to Plot, etc.

By default, axes labels in two-dimensional graphics are placed at the ends of the axes. In three-dimensional graphics, they are aligned with the middles of the axes.

Any expression can be specified as a label. It will be given by default in TraditionalForm. Arbitrary strings of text can be given as "text". »
