noun [ C usually singular ] mathematics specialized (also Z-axis) uk/ˈzedˌæk.sɪs/ us/ˈziːˌæk.sɪs/ z-axes
Z轴
in a three-dimensional space (= one that has height, length, and width), the line along which the values of z are shown on a graph, diagram, etc., perpendicular to the x- and y-axes and usually starting from a point at which both x and y have the value 0
These values are marked along the z-axis.
In a 3D environment, the Z-line or Z-axis is depth. 在三维环境中，Z线或Z轴就是深度。
The location of each data value in the data cube is marked on the x-, y-, and z-axes of the cube.

- Axes need to be set up in three directions, and the usual convention is to take x- and y-axes in a horizontal plane, and to add a z-axis pointing vertically.
- In this system there is rotational symmetry around the z-axis.
- For the Y and Z-axes, the data is stored in different files as shown below.
