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.
