NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts
Declaration
Related API Members
The following members return SecondaryAxisYCollection objects:
Remarks
In addition to the primary axes, for an XY-Diagram, an unlimited number of secondary axes can be created. Secondary Y-axes reside in the collection represented by the SecondaryAxisYCollection class, which can be accessed via the XYDiagram.SecondaryAxesY property.
The properties and methods exposed by the SecondaryAxisYCollection class can be used to perform common collection operations, such as adding new or deleting existing items. Each collection item is represented by a SecondaryAxisY object. Individual secondary Y-axes can be accessed using indexer notation.
The collection of secondary X-axes is represented by the SecondaryAxisXCollection class.
For more information, refer to Primary and Secondary Axes.
Example
This example demonstrates how to add secondary axes to a chart at runtime.
Use the following API members to add secondary axes:
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| XYDiagram2D.SecondaryAxesX | Gets the collection of secondary X-axes. |
| SecondaryAxisX | Represents the secondary X-axis within a chart control in 2D series, except for the Swift Plot and Swift Point. |
| XYDiagram2D.SecondaryAxesY | Gets the collection of secondary Y-axes. |
| SecondaryAxisY | Represents the secondary Y-axis within a chart control in 2D series, except for the Swift Plot and Swift Point. |
