# Gaxis 3¶

Example illustrating how to modify individual labels of a TGaxis. The method ChangeLabel allows to do that.

The first parameter of this method is the label number to be modified. If this number is negative labels are numbered from the last one. The other parameters are (in order):

• the new angle value,
• the new size (0 erase the label),
• the new text alignment,
• the new label color,
• the new label text.
