AxesStyle

AxesStyle

is an option for graphics functions that specifies how axes should be rendered.

Details

  • AxesStyle can be used in both two- and three-dimensional graphics.
  • AxesStyle->style specifies that all axes are to be generated with the specified style.
  • AxesStyle->{xstyle,ystyle,…} specifies that axes should use graphics directives xstyle, ….
  • Styles can be specified using graphics directives such as Thick, Red, and Dashed as well as Thickness, Dashing, and combinations given by Directive.
  • AxesStyle gives both the style of the axes themselves, and the default style for labels and ticks. TicksStyle overrides specifications for ticks.
  • The default style of axes is specified by the option DefaultAxesStyle.
