AxisStyle Class

Stores axis appearance settings.

Namespace: DevExpress.Maui.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Maui.Charts.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Maui.Charts

Declaration

public class AxisStyle :
    StyleBase

The following members return AxisStyle objects:

Remarks

You can customize the x- and y-axis appearance to improve the readability of a chart’s visual data. To do this, create an AxisStyle object, specify its properties’ values, and assign this object to the axis’s Style property.

Tickmarks and Grid Lines

Tickmarks divide an axis into equal sections by a step whose value is determined by the special options of an axis.

Grid Lines are reference lines drawn across an axis from its tickmarks through the entire chart.

There are two types of tickmarks and grid lines: major and minor. Use the following properties to modify the appearance of tickmarks and grid lines:

Axis Line

To customize an axis line, use the LineColor and LineThickness properties. The LineVisible property allows you to control the axis visibility.

Interlacing

You can make a diagram’s background striped by alternating two colors. To do this, set the InterlacedVisible property to DevExpress.Maui.Charts.DefaultBoolean.True, and specify the color using the InterlacedColor property.

Example

This example uses the AxisStyle class properties to customize axis lines, display grid lines and tickmarks with the specified appearance, and enable interlaced color intervals on the chart diagram.
