Any help?? > > Russ Goodman > University of Oklahoma Mathematics > rgoodman at ou.edu One of the great tools in using Mathematica is ??. ??Plot3D shows a list of all possible options. After playing around with a few of them, I think the ones you are after are Boxed->False and AxesEdge->{{-1,-1},{-1,-1},{-1,-1}} as in: Plot3D[Sin[x+y^2],{x,-3,3},{y,-3,3},Boxed->False, AxesEdge->{{-1,-1},{-1,-1},{-1,-1}}] The Axes Edge option is explained in section 2.9 of the mathematica book. Of course, the problem in having the axes all proceed from a common point is that unless the graph is non colored and transparent, it will block of the view of one of the axes.
