Information

  • In this module you can edit the attributes of the axes of a chart.

  • In bar charts, the X-axis is vertical and the Y-axis is horizontal. 

Example

Details

  • Using the Crosshair parameter you can define whether a cross-hair pointer is to be displayed when the cursor hovers over the chart.
    • Possible values are: NoneBothHorizontal, Vertical

Allows for placeholders like, e.g., {value}€.

Here you can also use the Python ID of a data field to have its DF heading displayed.

Format parameter for Double axes

Format parameter for DateTime axes

RoundToIntervalType

Defines whether the date values in DateTime axes are to be rounded down to the 1st day of the interval from IntervalType.

Possible values: true/false

AxisTickWidthWidth of the tick marks
StuffPoints

Defines whether missing data points are to stuffed on this axis.

The value on this axis is determined by the defined Interval and the value on the other axis is determined by the defined DefaultValue.

Possible values: true / false
