DefaultAxesStyle
is a low-level option for graphics functions that specifies the default style to use in displaying axes and axes-like constructs.
Details

- DefaultAxesStyle->style specifies that the axes-like elements should effectively be replaced by Style[axes,style].
- AxesStyle is applied after DefaultAxesStyle.
- The default setting for DefaultAxesStyle is typically different for different functions.
- For Graphics, the default setting is DefaultAxesStyle->"GraphicsAxes", and in general for an object named obj it is typically "obj Axes".
- DefaultAxesStyle->{} introduces no default style specifications, thereby effectively allowing all outside style specifications in.
- DefaultAxesStyle->style makes any specifications in style override corresponding outside style specifications.
