From my experience with visualization software, I guess the problem is that developers are so happy to be able to render polygons that they easily forget about boring stuff like text. If your object is not too complex you might consider to use a Java applet to display it. JavaView http://www-sfb288.math.tu-berlin.de/vgp/javaview/index.html or LiveGraphics3D http://wwwvis.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/~kraus/LiveGraphics3D/ are both able to display Mathematica graphics with axes and labels. (Well, I am not so sure about what JavaView is able to do exactly, but LiveGraphics3D does support axes rather well.) > Best regards > Joerg.Christoffers at Philips.com > Philips Semiconductors Germany Hope this helps Martin Kraus
