AxesLabel

AxesLabel
is an option for graphics functions that specifies labels for axes.
MORE INFORMATION
  • The following settings can be used:
Noneno labels
labellabel for y in 2D or z in 3D
{lblx,lbly}labels for x and y
{lblx,lbly,lblz}labels for x, y, and z
Automaticlabels 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 . »
EXAMPLESCLOSE ALL
Basic Examples   (4)
Place a label for the axis in 2D:
Place a label for the axis in 3D:
Specify a label for each axis:
Use labels based on variables specified in Plot3D:
Overall style of all the label-like elements can be specified by LabelStyle:
Place a label for the axis in 2D:
In[1]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[1]=
Place a label for the axis in 3D:
In[2]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[2]=
 
Specify a label for each axis:
In[1]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[1]=
 
Use labels based on variables specified in Plot3D:
In[1]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[1]=
 
Overall style of all the label-like elements can be specified by LabelStyle:
In[1]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[1]=
Scope   (2)
Labels use TraditionalForm by default:
Use StandardForm instead:
Individually styled labels can be used together with LabelStyle, and have higher priority:
Generalizations & Extensions   (2)
Use labels based on variables specified in Plot and Plot3D:
Any graphic can be used as a label:
Properties & Relations   (1)
The overall output format can be specified using FormatType:
Possible Issues   (1)
When different format types are combined, the result is likely to be unpredictable:
This is equivalent to:
Neat Examples   (2)
Use 3D graphics labels:
Use dynamic checkboxes as the axes labels:
