This command allows you to specify up to 100 text labels that can replace or be used in combination with the numbers, dates, and/or times that appear on the X or Y axes or the Z axis of a 3D or 4D plot. No effort is made to prevent these labels from overlapping those numbers, dates, or times. The labels will be drawn with the same orientation as the numbers along the axis. Orientation is controlled with the Number Formats command on the Options menu. To use these labels only, set the number format for the corresponding axis to "None" using the Number Formats command. Alternatively, right-click on any of those numbers and select "None".
For 3D views of 3D or 4D data, the labels will always be drawn on the same side of the plot that the numbers along the coordinate axes would normally be drawn.
Similar functionality can be achieved with notes, but exact placement of notes is a bit cumbersome: If note placement is made a function of plot space (the default), if you zoom or otherwise change the extents of the plot the note positions will change. And if note placement is made a function of data space, the note will not be drawn if the anchor point is outside the limits of the plot.
Example:
