Label(axis)Labelaxis - Axis label

Description:
This attribute specifies a label to be attached to each axis of a FrameFrame when it is represented (e.g.) in graphical output.

If a Label value has not been set for a Frame axis, then a suitable default is supplied.

Type:
String.
Class Applicability:
Frame
The default supplied by the Frame class is the string "AxisAxis $<$n$>$", where $<$n$>$ is 1, 2, etc. for each successive axis.
SkyFrameSkyFrame
The SkyFrame class re-defines the default Label value (e.g. to "Right ascension" or "Galactic latitude") as appropriate for the particular celestial coordinate system being represented.
TimeFrameTimeFrame
The TimeFrame class re-defines the default Label value as appropriate for the particular time system being represented.
FrameSetFrameSet
The Label attribute of a FrameSet axis is the same as that of its current Frame (as specified by the CurrentCurrent attribute).
Notes:
  • Axis labels are intended purely for interpretation by human readers and not by software.

  • When specifying this attribute by name, it should be subscripted with the number of the Frame axis to which it applies.
