Styles

| Style | Description | Defined by
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | axisColor | Type: uint The line color for the axis. The default value is `#888a85`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | axisWeight | Type: int The line weight, in pixels, for the axis. The default value is `1`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | hideOverlappingLabels | Type: Boolean If true, labels that overlap previously drawn labels on the axis will be hidden. The first and last labels on the axis will always be drawn. The default value is `true`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | labelDistance | Type: Number The distance, in pixels, between a label and the axis. The default value is `2`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | labelRotation | Type: Number The angle, in degrees, of the labels on the axis. May be a value between `-90` and `90`. The default value is `0`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | minorTickColor | Type: uint The line color for the minor ticks on the axis. The default value is `#888a85`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | minorTickLength | Type: Number The length of the minor ticks on the axis. The default value is `3`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | minorTickPosition | Type: String The position of the minor ticks on the axis. The default value is `"outside"`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | minorTickWeight | Type: int The line weight, in pixels, for the minor ticks on the axis. The default value is `1`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | showAxis | Type: Boolean If false, the axis is not drawn. Titles, labels, ticks, and grid lines may still be drawn, however, so you must specifically hide each item if nothing should be drawn. The default value is `true`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | showLabels | Type: Boolean If true, labels will be displayed on the axis. The default value is `true`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | showMinorTicks | Type: Boolean If true, ticks will be displayed on the axis at minor positions. The default value is `true`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | showTicks | Type: Boolean If true, ticks will be displayed on the axis. The default value is `true`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | showTitle | Type: Boolean If true, the axis title will be displayed. The default value is `2`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | tickColor | Type: uint The line color for the ticks on the axis. The default value is `#888a85`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | tickLength | Type: Number The length, in pixels, of the ticks on the axis. The default value is `4`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | tickPosition | Type: String The position of the ticks on the axis. The default value is `"cross"`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | tickWeight | Type: int The line weight, in pixels, for the ticks on the axis. The default value is `1`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | titleDistance | Type: Number The distance, in pixels, between a title and the axis labels. The default value is `2`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | titleRotation | Type: Number The angle, in degrees, of the title on the axis. May be a value between `-90` and `90`. The default value is `0`. | DefaultAxisRenderer
|  | titleTextFormat | Type: TextFormat The TextFormat object to use to render the axis title label. The default value is `TextFormat("_sans", 11, 0x000000, false, false, false, '', '', TextFormatAlign.LEFT, 0, 0, 0, 0)`. | DefaultAxisRenderer

Property detail

contentBounds | property

`contentBounds:Rectangle` [read-only]

Represents the area where content should be drawn within the axis. This value is used to determine the containing chart's own `contentBounds` property.

Implementation
`public function get contentBounds():Rectangle`

length | property |

`length:Number` [read-only]

The total length of the axis renderer, in pixels.

Implementation
`public function get length():Number`

majorUnitSetByUser | property |

`majorUnitSetByUser:Boolean` [read-write]

Indicates whether the major unit is user-defined or generated by the axis.

Implementation
`public function get majorUnitSetByUser():Boolean`
`public function set majorUnitSetByUser(value:Boolean):void`

minorTicks | property |

`minorTicks:Array` [read-write]

An Array of AxisData objects specifying the positions of the minor ticks.

Implementation
`public function get minorTicks():Array`
`public function set minorTicks(value:Array):void`

orientation | property |

`orientation:String` [read-write]

Determines if the axis is displayed vertically or horizontally.

Implementation
`public function get orientation():String`
`public function set orientation(value:String):void`

outerTickOffset | property |

`outerTickOffset:Number` [read-write]Implementation
`public function get outerTickOffset():Number`
`public function set outerTickOffset(value:Number):void`

position | property |

`position:String` [read-write]

Indicates alignment of axis

Implementation
`public function get position():String`
`public function set position(value:String):void`

ticks | property |

`ticks:Array` [read-write]

An Array of AxisData objects specifying the positions of the ticks.

Implementation
`public function get ticks():Array`
`public function set ticks(value:Array):void`

title | property |

`title:String` [read-write]

The title text to display on the axis.

Implementation
`public function get title():String`
`public function set title(value:String):void`
Constructor detail

DefaultAxisRenderer | () | constructor

`public function DefaultAxisRenderer()`

Constructor.

Method detail

updateAxis | () | method

`public function updateAxis():void`

Calculates the `contentBounds` value for the axis renderer. Seperating this function from the draw method optimizes processing time, and it allows the chart to synchronize its axes.
