    Axis Class
    In This Topic
    The Axis class is the base class of all axes displayed by the Xceed Chart for WinForms component.
    Object Model
    Axis Class
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
<ClassInterfaceAttribute(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)>
<TypeConverterAttribute(Xceed.Chart.Core.AxisConverter)>
<SerializableAttribute()>
Public MustInherit Class Axis 
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As Axis
    [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)]
[TypeConverter(Xceed.Chart.Core.AxisConverter)]
[Serializable()]
public abstract class Axis
    Remarks
    Each axis displayed by the Xceed Chart for WinForms component is represented by a class derived from this class. The user can obtain a reference to the five standard axes with the help of the Axis method of the Chart class. The following code obtains a reference to the PrimaryY axis. 
    
Dim axis As Axis = Chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY);


    
Axis axis = Chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY);
    A reference to a custom axis can be obtained with the help of the second override of the Axis mehtod which receives a Int32 parameter which is the axis id. The following code demonstrates this. 
    
' create a custom vertical axis
Dim axis As Axis =  Chart.Axes.AddCustomAxis(AxisOrientation.Vertical,AxisPredefinedPosition.FrontRight) 
' save the axis id 
Dim nAxisId As Integer =  axis.AxisId 
...
' obtain a reference to the axis with the saved id
Dim customAxis As Axis =  Chart.Axis(nAxisId)


    
// create a custom vertical axis
Axis axis = Chart.Axes.AddCustomAxis(AxisOrientation.Vertical, AxisPredefinedPosition.FrontRight);
// save the axis id 
int nAxisId = axis.AxisId;
...
// obtain a reference to the axis with the saved id
Axis customAxis = Chart.Axis(nAxisId);
    The Axis class implements support for the following axis features:
    • axis identification
    • appearance control
    • scale control
    • major and minor tick control
    • major and minor gridline control
    • position control
    • text format control
    • title
    • stagger control
    • access to the associated constant lines
    • access to the associated strip lines
