Set axes in 3d plot
Is there a way to set the kind of axes shown in a 3d plot? Seems like you should be able to specify boxed, axes, etc. in the show
command.

You can write your own python function to draw axes, something like:
def axes(xmin=-1,xmax=1,ymin=-1,ymax=1,zmin=-1,zmax=1,**kwds):
ex = vector((1,0,0))
ey = vector((0,1,0))
ez = vector((0,0,1))
G = line3d([xmin*ex,xmax*ex],**kwds)
G += line3d([ymin*ey,ymax*ey],**kwds)
G += line3d([zmin*ez,zmax*ez],**kwds)
return G
axes(xmax=2,zmax=4,color='red',thickness=2).show()
You can do frame=False
and axes=True
, but doubtless you're talking about something more substantial, and these leave ... less than desirable results. I'm not sure why the axes are in the wrong place sometimes, though I believe there is a ticket open for this.
That's probably what I would do at this point too. It would be great to have a nice axes option for 3d graphics.
See http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/19442 for a belated followup ticket.
