Axis Class

Represents the base class for classes that provide axes functionality for 2D XY-series views.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v18.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public abstract class Axis :
    Axis2D,
    IAutoScaleBreaksContainer

VB.NET

Public MustInherit Class Axis
    Inherits Axis2D
    Implements IAutoScaleBreaksContainer

Remarks

The Axis class serves as a base for classes which provide both primary and secondary axes functionality for a 2D XY-chart, meaning that the properties and methods which are defined by the Axis class are common to all axes of an XY-Diagram.

In addition to the settings inherited from the base Axis2D class, the Axis class implements specific properties that allow you to control the following axis options.

• enable the automatic scale breaks detection algorithm for an axis (Axis.AutoScaleBreaks), or adjust axis scale breaks manually (Axis.ScaleBreaks and Axis.ScaleBreakOptions);
• reverse both an axis and its counterpart, and the associated diagram itself (Axis.Reverse).

For more information, refer to Axes.
