An axis is the reference line that is used to measure coordinates on graphs and grids. There are typically two axis lines (axes) on a graph; the y-axis and the x-axis. The y-axis is vertical, while the x-axis is horizontal. When these two lines are together on a graph they are referred to as the axes of the graph.

Multiple axes can be added to the top, left, right, or bottom part of a layout element (equivalent to a layer in SciDavis, QtiPlot, or Origin). each axis can be customized by selecting the respective axis in the property editor object browser pane. When you plot data from the Table or import data into a graph window, the graph layout axes are automatically scaled to include all data points in the data plot.

|}

Use these to set basic axis label properties.

==Tick==

A tick(also known as major tick) is a short line on an axis. For category axes, ticks separate each category. For value axes, ticks mark the major divisions and show the exact point on an axis that the axis label defines. Ticks are always the same color and line style as the axis.

{| class="wikitable" style="float:left;clear:left;width:100%"
!colspan="2"|Axis Tick Properties
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Axis Ticks</pre>
|Sets whether tick marks are displayed.
Note that setting show to false does not imply that tick labels are invisible, too. To achieve that, set TickLabels checkbox.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Count</pre>
|set axis tick count
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Origin</pre>
|set axis tick origin (by default this is set to 0)
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Length In</pre>
|Sets the length of the inward ticks in pixels. inside is the length the ticks will reach inside the plot.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Length Out</pre>
|Sets the length of the outward ticks in pixels. outside is the length the ticks will reach outside the plot. If outside is greater than zero, the tick labels and axis label will increase their distance to the axis accordingly, so they won't collide with the ticks.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Stroke Color</pre>
|Sets the stroke color, axis tick will be drawn with.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Stroke Thickness</pre>
|Sets the stroke thickness, axis tick will be drawn with.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Stroke Type</pre>
|Sets the stroke style, axis tick will be drawn with. The stroke styles such as SolidLine, DashLine, DottedLine etc can be selected.
|}

Use these to set basic axis tick properties.

==Sub Tick==

Each major tick shows a large tickmark and a label, while each sub tick(also known as minor tick) shows a smaller tickmark with no label.

!colspan="2"|Axis Sub Tick Properties
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Axis Sub Ticks</pre>
|Sets whether sub tick marks are displayed.Sub ticks are only potentially visible if (major) ticks are also visible
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Length In</pre>
|Sets the length of the inward subticks in pixels. inside is the length the subticks will reach inside the plot.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Length Out</pre>
|Sets the length of the outward subticks in pixels. outside is the length the subticks will reach outside the plot. If outside is greater than zero, the tick labels will increase their distance to the axis accordingly, so they won't collide with the ticks.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Stroke Color</pre>
|Sets the stroke color, axis subtick will be drawn with.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Stroke Thickness</pre>
|Sets the stroke thickness, axis subtick will be drawn with.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Stroke Type</pre>
|Sets the stroke style, axis subtick will be drawn with. The stroke styles such as SolidLine, DashLine, DottedLine etc can be selected.
|}

Use these to set basic axis sub tick properties.

==Tick Label==

{| class="wikitable" style="float:left;clear:left;width:100%"
!colspan="2"|Tick Label Properties
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Tick Label</pre>
|Sets whether tick labels are displayed. Tick labels are the numbers drawn next to tick marks.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Font</pre>
|Sets the font of the tick labels.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Color</pre>
|Sets the color of the tick labels.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Padding</pre>
|Sets the distance between the axis base line (including any outward ticks) and the tick labels.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Rotation</pre>
|Sets the rotation of the tick labels. If degrees is zero, the labels are drawn normally. Else, the tick labels are drawn rotated by degrees clockwise. The specified angle is bound to values from -90 to 90 degrees.
If degrees is exactly -90, 0 or 90, the tick labels are centered on the tick coordinate. For other angles, the label is drawn with an offset such that it seems to point toward or away from the tick mark.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Side</pre>
|Sets whether the tick labels (numbers) shall appear inside or outside the layout element.
The usual and default setting is 'Outside'. Very compact plots sometimes require tick labels to be inside the layout element, to save space. If side is set to 'Inside', the tick labels appear on the inside are additionally clipped to the layout element.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Format</pre>
|Sets the number format for the numbers in tick labels using a FormatCode. FormatCode is a string of one, two or three characters.
'''First Character:'''

'e'/'E' scientific format, 'f' fixed format, 'g'/'G' scientific or fixed, whichever is shorter. For the 'e', 'E', and 'f' formats.
'''Second and third characters are optional:'''

If the first char was 'e' or 'g', numbers are/might be displayed in the scientific format, e.g. "5.5e9", which is ugly in a plot. So when the second char of formatCode is set to 'b' (for "beautiful"), those exponential numbers are formatted in a more natural way, i.e. "5.5 [multiplication sign] 10 [superscript] 9". By default, the multiplication sign is a centered dot. If instead a cross should be shown (as is usual in the USA), the third char of FormatCode can be set to 'c'. The inserted multiplication signs are the UTF-8 characters 215 (0xD7) for the cross and 183 (0xB7) for the dot.

'''Examples for formatCode'''

* g normal format code behaviour. If number is small, fixed format is used, if number is large, normal scientific format is used
* gb If number is small, fixed format is used, if number is large, scientific format is used with beautifully typeset decimal powers and a dot as multiplication sign
* ebc All numbers are in scientific format with beautifully typeset decimal power and a cross as multiplication sign
* fb illegal format code, since fixed format doesn't support (or need) beautifully typeset decimal powers. Format code will be reduced to 'f'.
* hello illegal format code, since first char is not 'e', 'E', 'f', 'g' or 'G'. Current format code will not be changed.
|-
|<pre style="color: green;margin:5px;padding:5px">Precision</pre>
|Sets the precision of the tick label numbers. The effect of precisions are most notably for number Formats starting with 'e'.
