Gets or sets the position of major tick marks on the axis.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Declaration

AxisTickMarks MajorTickMarks { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
AxisTickMarks

An AxisTickMarks enumeration value that specifies how major tick marks are displayed on the axis.

Available values:

Name Description
Cross

Specifies that the tick marks should cross the axis.

Inside

Specifies that the tick marks should be displayed inside the plot area.

None

Specifies that the tick marks should not be displayed on the axis.

Outside

Specifies that the tick marks should be displayed outside the plot area.

Remarks

Tick marks are tiny lines that are used to indicate the demarcation of the axis. Use the MajorTickMarks property to specify how major tick marks appear: whether they are displayed inside or outside the plot area, whether they cross the axis, or if they are completely hidden.

You can also use the Axis.MinorTickMarks property to add minor tick marks to the axis.

Example

The example below demonstrates how to create the clustered column chart and hide the axis major tick marks by setting the Axis.MajorTickMarks property to the AxisTickMarks.None value.

View Example

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["chartTask3"];
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;

// Create a chart and specify its location.
Chart chart = worksheet.Charts.Add(ChartType.ColumnClustered, worksheet["B3:C5"]);
chart.TopLeftCell = worksheet.Cells["H2"];
chart.BottomRightCell = worksheet.Cells["N14"];

// Set the axis tick marks.
Axis axis = chart.PrimaryAxes[0];
axis.MajorTickMarks = AxisTickMarks.None;
axis = chart.PrimaryAxes[1];
axis.MajorTickMarks = AxisTickMarks.None;

// Hide the legend.
chart.Legend.Visible = false;
