Layer.Axis

(2021b)

For 2D ternary coordinate, show the opposite axis on the parallel axis or adjacent axis :
1 = show on adjacent axis;
0 = show on parallel axis of current axis.
Note: This property is equal to Opposite Axis Show at option in the Scale tab of Axis dialog for Ternary graphs.

For more sub-object of the axis arrow object, please see this page.

Show the arrow at end/begin/both of axis
0=not show arrow;
1= show at the end of axis;
2= show at the begin of axis;
3= show at the both of the axis

Display a straight line at Y = 0 for an X axis, X = 0 for a Y axis: 1 = show, 0 = hide.
Note: This property is NOT supported in 3D graph.

(2020b)

For column and bar chart, if layer.ais.PlotBreakSymbol is turned on, layer.axis.BarBreakBorder can further determine whether the break marker is plotted at both borders of the bar. 0 = the break marker is plotted across the entire bar, 1 = the marker is plotted at both borders.

For more sub-object of the breaks object, please see this page.

Axis color. Numbers from the color list, or transparent (0). The color function can be used, as in: layer.x.color = color(blue); or layer.y2.color = color(240,208,0);

Set the number of decimal places displayed in the tick labels.

First tick value.

Set custom direct formula when scale type is "Custom Formula".

First axis scale value. If the data is date format, you have to use the corresponding Julian days instead. To convert to Julian days, refer to Date.

For more sub-object of the grid object, please see this page.

Show the grid lines
0=not show grid lines;
1= show the major grid lines;
2= show the minor grid lines;
3= show both major and minor grid lines;

Major tick increment.

(2023)

Only support for Y axis.

When there are two Y axes shows, specfify whether alllow to rescale each Y independently:

layer.y.IndivScale = 1; 
//1 = Turn on to rescale left Y and right Y independently;  0=Right Y and left Y share same axis scale.

Set custom inverse formula when scale type is "Custom Formula".

For more sub-object of the label object, please see this page.

Tick label format: 1 = decimal, 2 = scientific, 3 = engineering (1K), and 4 = decimal (1,000).

Dataset name if the tick label is text from dataset. To read, assign the value to a string variable.

Tick label type: 1 = numeric, 2 = text from dataset, etc.

(2023b)

Link type for the specified axis residing in a layer that is linked with the layer.link property.
0 = no link；
1 = one-to-one link；
3 = Align mode

This property is NOT supported in 3D graph.

(2015 SR0)

Custom linking From value formula for child layer X/Y scale in terms of the parent layer scale value(s). The parent layer From and To scale values syntax for X and Y axis are X1, X2, Y1, Y2 respectively.

When layer.axis.link=3, the specified axis will align to another axis of same direction at specified axis position; this axis postion for alignment can be specified by layer.axis.link.from$. For Example

//Align right Y to left Y at Y = 0
layer.y2.link = 3; // mode=align
layer.y2.link.from$ = 0; // axis position value=0

(2015 SR0)

Custom linking To value formula for child layer X/Y scale in terms of the parent layer scale value(s). The parent layer From and To scale values syntax for X and Y axis are X1, X2, Y1, Y2 respectively.

Number of major ticks. The default value of 0 is ignored. Setting this to a positive number will result in approximately that number of major ticks.

Number of minor ticks.

Minor tick length.

Minor tick thickness.

Line opposite the axis: 1 = enable, 0 = disable.

This property is NOT supported in 3D graph.

(2020b)

Add break marker to plot 0 = do not show break marker on the plot, only a gap at the axis break region, 1 = show break marker on the plot, the marker shape follows the shape of axis break

Axis position: 0 = "Default position", 1 = "% from left", 2 = "At position ="

Note: When layer.axis.postype is set to 1 or 2, please work with layer.axis.position to specify the percent/value
Example:

//Offset the y axis to be 20% of the axis length left from its default position
layer.y.postype=1;
layer.y.position=20;

Specify the axis position value. It is only available when layer.axis.postype = 1 or = 2.

Rescale type: 1 = manual, 2 = normal, 3 = auto, 4 = fixed from, and 5 = fixed to.

% of data range used to produce a margin around data. Select Plot:Rescale to Show All to view the change.

Specify whether rescale the angular axis when Unit=Custom for a polar graph.
If there are points outside of original custom unit range, setting this object to 1, the angular axis range will be updated when you rescale the axis.
Default value is 0, which means the angular axis range won't rescale for custom unit.

Reverse axis direction: 1 = enable, 0 = disable.

Note:This property is supported in 3D OpenGL graph, but it can NOT work when close OpenGL (@ogl=0).

Axis and tick display: 0 = hide both axes, 1 = show left, bottom or front axis, 2 = show right, top or back axis, 3 = show both axes. axis and axis2 are the same.

Grid display: 0 = hide grids, 1 = show major grids, 2 = show minor grids, and 3 = show both grids. axis and axis2 are the same.

(2020)

Show tick labels on sepcified axis: 0 = hide labels, 1 = show labels.

Show tick labels on axes: 0 = hide both labels, 1 = show left or bottom axis, 2 = show right or top labels, 3 = show both labels. axis and axis2 are the same.

(2020)

Show opposite axis line of the specified axis: 0 = hide opposite axis, 1 = show opposite axis.

Same as layer.axis.type.

Width of axis line in points.

Major tick length.

Controls the major and minor ticks as follows: 0 = no ticks, 1 = major in, 2 = major out, 4 = minor in, and 8 = minor out. Numbers can be combined, so 1 + 2 + 8 = 11 (major ticks in and out, minor ticks out).

Specifies a dataset to control major ticks mark position and labels.

Note: You can use an existing dataset or type a series of numbers separated by Space.

Specifies a dataset to control minor ticks mark position and labels.

Note: You can use an existing dataset or type a series of numbers separated by Space.

Major tick thickness.

Last axis scale value. If the data is date format, you have to use the corresponding Julian days instead. To convert to Julian days, refer to Date.

Axis scale type: 0 or 1 = linear, 2 = log10, 3 = probability, 4 = probit, 5 = reciprocal, 6 = offset reciprocal, 7 = logit, 8 = ln, 9 = log2, 10 = Double Log Reciprocal and 11 = Custom Formula.

White out around tick labels: 1 = enable, 0 = disable.
