So I am working on making a cube in Desmos 3D with labeled vertices.

If anyone would like the link to the Desmos 3D graph, here it is.

The only problem is, I am unable to label the vertices for some weird reason, when I put down a point, such as at $(1,1,1)$, there is no (Label) button that pops up so I can label the point as say (1,1,1), as seen in this screenshot:

My question is, is there some sort of workaround to applying labels to points in Desmos 3D, or is there no way of getting around this limitation?

I have tried clicking and long-holding the color icon on the point to attempt to get around not being able to label the point, as that does work in Desmos 2D (or just Desmos), but it doesn't appear to work.

While scrolling through Google searching for workarounds, I found this Reddit post in /r/desmos from a user who was trying to redo the coordinate system in Desmos 3D and wanted to know if they could label points, but nobody has commented on that post.

    As a workaround use GeoGebra instead of Desmos. – Paul Jan 12 '24 at 17:47

    I emailed support about it. I'll let you know if I find anything. – CyclotomicField Jan 12 '24 at 17:57
  • @Paul Oh that's cool! Despite GeoGebra having you type out stuff more like you would in Mathematica (i.e. having to type Integral(f(x,y),x) instead of just being able to do int in Desmos), it does seem to have what I need. Thank you! – CrSb0001 Jan 12 '24 at 18:31
  • The [tag:desmos] tag is a pretty low-traffic tag. I don't think that a second Desmos related tag is necessary at this time. – Xander Henderson Jan 12 '24 at 22:10

    I got a response from the support team and they said there is currently no way to label points in 3D. They've passed the feature request along to the development team so hopefully they add it at some point. – CyclotomicField Jan 18 '24 at 16:04

There is still no way to add labels to the graph in Desmos 3D, but you can add notes. These notes just show in the list of items on the lefthand side, not on the graph itself though, so this method might not work for you.

To add a note, you click on the "+" in the top left corner, then "note": enter image description here

You can rearrange notes in the list, have multiple notes in a row, and they can span multiple lines: enter image description here
