The routine xname returns the name of the x-axis used to define obj. It returns either a name or FAIL.

The routine yname returns the name of the y-axis used to define obj. It returns either a name or FAIL.

The routine zname returns the name of the z-axis used to define obj. It returns either a name or FAIL.

The command with(geom3d,xname) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{geom3d}\right)\:$

$\mathrm{point}\left(A\,0\,0\,0\right),\mathrm{point}\left(B\,1\,1\,11\right),\mathrm{point}\left(C\,3\,7\,5\right)\:$

$\mathrm{plane}\left(p\,\left[A\,B\,C\right]\right)$

$p$

$\mathrm{detail}\left(p\right)$

Warning, assuming that the names of the axes are _x, _y and _z
