Are there any option to plot the typical and classic axis instead de "box axis" that is the default option in Mathematica?

What I would like is any similar to the axis in red in the following image.

ParametricPlot3D[{2 u, 2 v, u - v}, {u, -16, 16}, {v, -16, 16}, 
 PlotRange -> {-9, 9}, PerformanceGoal -> "Quality", 
 PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.74]]},
 AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}, LabelStyle -> {20, Bold}, ImageSize -> Large,
  ViewPoint -> {11, 2, 3}, AxesStyle -> Thick
 ]

enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ Could you please attach code in your original post. It would allow others use what you've already got to produce a solution reflecting on native conventions and observed knowledge of MMA. P.S I do realise there is code in the picture that you've attached. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 10, 2015 at 10:15

Use Boxed->False and AxesOrigin->{0,0,0}:

ParametricPlot3D[{2 u, 2 v, u - v}, {u, -16, 16}, {v, -16, 16}, 
 PlotRange -> {-9, 9}, PlotStyle -> Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.74]],
 AxesLabel -> {x, y, z},
 LabelStyle -> {20, Bold},
 ImageSize -> Large,
 ViewPoint -> {11, 2, 3},
 AxesStyle -> Thick,
 Boxed -> False,
 AxesOrigin -> {0, 0, 0}
 ]

  • $\begingroup$ is easy put the name of the axis in other point?, avoiding be in the middle. for example close to the end of the visible axis, similar to the image of the example in red. $\endgroup$
