Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
valueintThe corresponding int value. The value must be one of AxisCrosses constants.

setCrossesAt(double value)

public void setCrossesAt(double value)

Specifies where on the perpendicular axis the axis crosses.

Remarks:

The property has effect only if getCrosses() / setCrosses(int) are set to AxisCrosses.CUSTOM. It is not supported by MS Office 2016 new charts.

The units are determined by the type of axis. When the axis is a value axis, the value of the property is a decimal number on the value axis. When the axis is a time category axis, the value is defined as an integer number of days relative to the base date (30/12/1899). For a text category axis, the value is an integer category number, starting with 1 as the first category.

Examples:

Shows how to get a graph axis to cross at a custom location.

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
valueintThe interval, at which tick labels are drawn.

setTickLabelSpacingIsAuto(boolean value)

public void setTickLabelSpacingIsAuto(boolean value)

Sets a flag indicating whether automatic interval of drawing tick labels shall be used.

Remarks:

Default value is true .

Examples:

Shows how to insert a chart and modify the appearance of its axes.

 Chart chart = shape.getChart();

 // Clear the chart's demo data series to start with a clean chart.
 chart.getSeries().clear();

 // Insert a chart series with categories for the X-axis and respective numeric values for the Y-axis.
