# 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.

| 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.
