The axis are colored which is nice, but could they also
have a label (x,y,z) while in addition the x,y,z -
normal views got a label indicating which view it
corresponds to, it would be even more clear.

    Each of the views now set their window titles to show which
    axis they display. Was that what you wanted? :)

    When saying the axes should have labels, do you mean that
    the numbers should be displayed beside them in the image window?

    I have not tried the updates, but it sounds as what I was looking for =)

    When I said that the axes should have labels I meant that for example the
    red line could have a small letter 'x' (or whatever red is) above it to the right
    (or in any intuitive place).

    Drawing fonts with OGL is one of these things that is hard
    in a portable way.
    See <a
    href="http://www.opengl.org/developers/faqs/technical/fonts.htm">the
    OGL Faq</a>

    The easiest thing is probably the generate a small texture
    with the text, and then add the texture to the line.

    Open Inventor is better for this, but it doe's not give
    direct access to all the pixel drawing modes which we rely upon.
