Add labels, adjust colors, define axis limits, apply lighting or transparency, set camera view

Customize the appearance of your plots to convey additional information or enhance the display of the data. For example, you can add titles and labels, change the axis limits, or add grid lines. You also can combine multiple sets of data in one figure, either by showing all the data in one axes or by using multiple axes in a single figure.
