    # This example demonstrates mplot3d's offset text display.
    # As one rotates the 3D figure, the offsets should remain oriented
    # same way as the axis label, and should also be located "away"
    # from the center of the plot.
    #
    # This demo triggers the display of the offset text for the x and
    # y axis by adding 1e5 to X and Y. Anything less would not
    # automatically trigger it.
