I am viewing slices of a complex object (a channel). I want to save these slices as images with Y/Z axis annotation. When using Data Axis Grid or Axes Grid the axes are presented in a box around the image. This is fine when the slice is normal to channel, but at complex sites I this approach doesn’t work; I need annotation on the 2D axis of the data slice rather than the slice box.

How can this be altered?

This seems simple but I’ve not found a post/document which details how to do it (likely to have missed it).

Many thanks.
