Hi all, after a long journey in the Makie doc, Beautiful Makie website and Julia discourse, I decided to post my question.

When playing with `LScene`, we can easily get the following visualization

Code to reproduce the figure

```julia
fig = Figure()
ax = LScene(fig[1,1])
axis = ax.scene[OldAxis]
axis[:names, :axisnames] = ("xlabel", "ylabel", "zlabel")

```

My problem here is that the labels are not aligned along the axes. I am aware that `Axis3` does this perfectly by default, but I want to do this with `LScene`.

More specifically, I would like to:

- rotate `xlabel` by an angle of +/- 90° around the z-axis
- same for `ylabel`
- rotate `zlabel` by an angle of +/- 90° around the y-axis

My question is : Is it actually possible ?

My unsuccessful attempt

```julia
style = axis[:names]
style[:rotation] = pi/2  
# This rotates zlabel and ylabel only. Both labels are parallel!  

```

Thanks for your help.
