The argument for AXES (a complex number or list) is stored as the fifth parameter in the reserved variable PPAR. How the argument is used depends on the type of object it is:

•If the argument is a complex number, it replaces the current entry in PPAR.

•If the argument is a list containing any or all of the above variables, only variables that are specified are affected.

atick has the same format as the argument for the ATICK command. This is the variable that is affected by the ATICK command.

The default value for AXES is (0,0).

Axes labels are not displayed in PICT until subsequent execution of LABEL.
