there are basically two ways to set axis labels. Interactively and
via the command line (or macro for that matter). To set an axis title
interactively, go with the mouse to an axis object (cursor turns into
a little pointing finger when pointing to a number of the axis) and
press
the right mouse button. Select SetTile in the popup menu and fill in the
desired title in the dialog box. To do it from the command line depends
on the type of object (we will streamline this), for example assume hpx
is a histogram:
hpx->SetXTitle("title of x axis")
hpx->SetYTitle("title of y axis")
For a graph, gr, it is (this is ugly and we will change it):
gr->GetHistogram()->SetXTitle("x axis")
We plan to change both cases to:
hpx->GetXAxis()->SetTitle("aaaaaa")
gr->GetYAxis()->SetTitle("vvvvv")
