I'm not an axes3d expert and below is from my quick at the code, so
there may be better ways.
axes3d have w_[xyz]axis attributes, which are responsible for drawing
tick, ticklables, and you need to change these to change ticks, etc.
While, I think something like w_xaxis.set_ticks should work, curr
Does anyone know if it possible to annotate the axes with strings?
I've tried a hundred combinations of set_xticklabels with and without
set_xticks but absolutely nothing seems to have any effect.
Perhaps this is a bug? Perhaps labelling 3d axes is not supported? There's
no documentation on this
