[Gate-users] How to insert x,y,z axes

[Stathis Kamperis]

Dear Marc,

thank you for your answer.

I'm very confused as I can't get even basic stuff as axis drawing
working. For example I use the following visualization commands:

/vis/open OGLSX
/vis/scene/create
/vis/scene/add/volume
/vis/sceneHandler/attach
/vis/viewer/set/viewpointThetaPhi 45 45
/vis/scene/add/axes
/vis/scene/add/text 1 0 0 m 100 0 0 X
/vis/scene/add/text 0 1 0 m 100 0 0 Y
/vis/scene/add/text 0 0 1 m 100 0 0 Z
/vis/viewer/refresh
/vis/viewer/flush

and this is what I get:

I must be missing something very fundamental on how geometry and
visualization works.

Best regards,
Stathis
