Y-Axis

The Y-Axis settings allow users to customize the vertical axis of the chart. This includes modifying its visibility, label formatting, range, and additional styling options. The settings provide a structured way to control how data is represented along the Y-axis.

Features and Descriptions

Feature

Description

Show

Toggle to enable or disable the Y-axis. When disabled, the axis and its elements (ticks, labels, lines) are hidden.

Inverse

If checked, inverts the Y-axis, meaning higher values will appear at the bottom and lower values at the top.

Axis Slider

Enables interactive panning and zooming along the Y-axis. Useful for large datasets where users need to zoom in on specific value ranges.

Type

Defines the scale type for the Y-axis. Options include: - value (numerical scale with evenly spaced intervals) - category (discrete labels instead of continuous numbers) - log (logarithmic scale) - time (time-based axis)

Position

Determines whether the Y-axis appears on the left or right side of the chart.

Name

Defines a custom label for the Y-axis. Useful for indicating units of measurement, such as "Sales (USD)" or "Temperature (°C)."

Name Location

Determines where the Y-axis name appears. Options include start, middle, and end.

Name Text

Allows customization of the axis name appearance, including font, size, color, bold/italic formatting.

Axis Line

Configures the main vertical axis line, including color, visibility, and line style.

Axis Tick

Controls the appearance of tick marks along the Y-axis. Options include color, alignment with labels, and tick style.

Axis Label

Customizes the data labels along the Y-axis, including rotation, font, color, size, bold/italic formatting.

Split Line

Toggles and styles gridlines that run horizontally across the chart, aiding in data readability.

Range (Min/Max)

Manually sets the minimum and maximum Y-axis values. If left empty, the chart will auto-scale based on data.

Usage Notes

  • For numerical data, it is recommended to use the value scale type.

  • For discrete categories, the category scale type should be used.

  • The range settings (Min/Max) should be used carefully to ensure data remains visible within meaningful limits.

  • Split lines are useful for providing a reference grid, especially in bar and line charts.
