Axes (Axes)
Three lines representing the axes - red line along X, green line along Y, and blue line along Z
The Axes source can be used to add a representation of the coordinate system axes to the 3D scene. The X axis will be drawn as a blue line, the Y axis as a green line, and the Z axis as a red line. The axes can be drawn either as three lines drawn in the positive direction from the origin or as three lines crossing at the origin (drawn in both the positive and negative directions). The output of the Axes source is polygonal data. This polygonal data has a scalar per line so that the lines can be colored. It also has normals defined.

PropertyDescriptionDefault Value(s)Restrictions
Origin
(Origin)
The values of this property set the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the origin of the axes. 0 0 0  
Scale Factor
(ScaleFactor)
By default the axes lines have a length of 1 (or 1 in each direction, for a total length of 2, if value of the Symmetric property is 1). Increasing or decreasing the value of this property will make the axes larger or smaller, respectively. 1

The value must be greater than or equal to 0.

 
Symmetric
(Symmetric)
When this property is set to 1, the axes extend along each of the positive and negative directions for a distance equal to the value of the Scale Factor property. When set to 0, the axes extend only in the positive direction. 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.
