The **AxisY** compass directions will position the AxisY to the West position which is to the left of the Chart or to the East position which is to the right of the Chart. The AxisX compass directions will position the AxisX to the South which is below the chart or to the North which is above the chart. The default compass position for the AxisY is West and the default position for the AxisX is South.
