# Axis labels can be set by passing **x+l**\ *label* (or starting with **y** if
# labeling the y-axis) to the ``frame`` argument of :meth:`pygmt.Figure.basemap`.
-# Axis labels will be displayed on all primary axes, which the default is all sides of
-# the figure. To designate only some of the axes as primary, an argument that
-# capitlizes only the primary axes can be passed, which is ``"WSne"`` in the example
-# below. The letters correspond with west (left), south (bottom), north (top), and
-# east (right) sides of a figure.
+# By default, all 4 map boundaries (or plot axes) are plotted with both tick marks and
+# axis labels. The axes are named as **W** (west/left), **S** (south/bottom),
+# **N** (north/top), and **E** (east/right) sides of a figure. If an upper-case axis
+# name is passed, the axis is plotted with tick marks and axis labels. A lower case
+# axis name plots only the axis and tick marks.

# The example below uses a Cartesian projection, as GMT does not allow axis labels to
# be set for geographic maps.
