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.
