Axis

• May 22, 2020

An Axis provides end-users with a visual means for reading and analyzing data displayed within a diagram. Most charts contain two axes: a numerical axis of values (Y-axis) and an axis of arguments (X-axis).

An axis allows you to access and customize the following chart elements:

• Grid Lines;
• Axis Tickmarks;
• Axis Labels;
• Constant Lines;
• Strip.

Apart from the primary X and Y axes, it is possible to create an unlimited number of Secondary Axis, which provide a similar functionality.

The table below lists the main properties that affect element appearance and functionality.
