Running this snippet:

```julia
using Makie, Random

scene = Scene(resolution = (1200, 1500))

scene1 = Scene(scene, IRect(0, 0, 1200, 900))
image = rand(1:4, 640, 480)
imagenode = Node(image)
image!(scene1, imagenode, scale_plot = false, show_axis = false, interpolate = false, colormap=[:white, :blue, :green, :red])

scene2 = Scene(scene, IRect(0, 900, 1200, 550))
polynode = Node(rand(Vec2f, 10))
linesegments!(scene2, polynode)

scene3 = Scene(scene, IRect(0, 1460, 1200, 40))
textnode = Node("text")
text!(scene3, textnode)

display(scene)

```

I’m getting a grid displayed behind the text of `textnode`:

 ![makie1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/6/2/62b7b7340b06448ad41b79922463d78b0503006d.png)  
Is there a way to get rid of it?

Sorry, but it just caught my eye and it works:

```julia
text!(scene3, textnode, show_axis = false)

```

The grid is controlled by `show_axis` attribute.
