\section{The \Index{axes} in 3d}

The command \verb+\axesIIID[options](x1,y1,z1)(x2,y2,z2)+ draws the axes $Ox$,
$Oy$ and $Oz$ dashed from the origin $O$ to the coordinates
$(x_1,0,0)$ for the $x$-axis, $(0,y_1,0)$ for the $y$-axis and
$(0,0,z_1)$ for the $z$-axis and from there continues drawing the axes as lines to the points $(x_2,0,0)$, $(0,y_2,0)$ and $(0,0,z_2)$.

The options are the following:
\begin{compactitem}
    \item all colour options, line width as well as all types of arrows.
    \item \texttt{\Lkeyword{labelsep}=length} which allows you to position the \Index{label} in a self defined distance away from the extremity of the arrow of the axis, the default value is \texttt{\Lkeyword{labelsep}=5pt}---this is a real distance in three dimensions and not on screen.
    \item the choice of the labels on each of the axes with the option: \\
    \texttt{\Lkeyword{axisnames}={a,b,c}}, the default values are \texttt{\Lkeyword{axisnames}={x,y,z}}.
    \item the potential to specify the style of the labels with the option: \\
    \texttt{\Lkeyword{axisemph}=}\verb+\boldmath\Large\color{red}+. By default there is no style predefined, 
    which means, if no style is chosen one will get \verb+$x$,$y$,$z$+.
    \item \Lkeyword{showOrigin} is a Boolean, \texttt{true}---by default. If it is set to 
    \texttt{\Lkeyword{showOrigin}=false} the dashed lines aren't drawn to the origin anymore.
    \item \Lkeyword{mathLabel} is a Boolean, \texttt{true}---by default, in which case the
     math mode is activated. Set to \texttt{\Lkeyword{mathLabel}=false} the labels are set in text mode.
\end{compactitem}
\encadre{The \Index{labels} are placed at the extemities of the axes.}
