Axes
The X, Y, and Y2 properties of the ChartArea object returns Axis objects that allow you to customize the appearance of the chart axes. The axes are represented by sub-properties of the ChartArea property: ChartArea.AxisX, ChartArea.AxisY, and ChartArea.AxisY2. Each of these properties returns an Axis object with the following main properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Alignment | Gets or sets the text alignment within the axis display. Inherits from the ChartArea. |
| Compass | Allows you to set the position of the axis. For example, you may want to display the X-axis above the data instead of below. |
| C1.Win.C1Chart.Style.Font | Sets the font used to display the values along the axis. |
| ForeColor | Sets the color used to display the axis, tickmarks, and values. |
| OnTop | Gets or sets whether axis and gridlines appear on top of the chart image. |
| Reversed | Gets or sets whether the axis is normal or reversed (ascending or descending). |
| Text | Sets a string to display next to the axis (this is typically used to describe the variable and units being depicted by the axis). |
| Rotation | Sets the orientation of the Text string. |
