Axis Tick Marks

The chart automatically sets up the axis with both major and minor ticks. Customizing the tick spacing or attributes is as easy as manipulating a set of properties.

The TickMajor and TickMinor properties set the state of the Axis’ tick marks. This property can be set to any of the TickMarksEnum values.

These values set where and if the tick marks will be displayed:

Value	Description
TickMarksEnum.None	No tick marks along axis.
TickMarksEnum.Cross	Tick marks cross over axis.
TickMarksEnum.Outside	Tick marks located outside chart area on axis.
TickMarksEnum.Inside	Tick marks located inside chart area on axis.

The AutoMajor and AutoMinor properties set whether the tick marks are to be automatically configured by the chart. When both these properties are set to True, the chart uses the current data to logically place the major and minor tick marks.

The UnitMajor and UnitMinor properties set the units by which the ticks will be spaced. When the UnitMajor property is set, the UnitMinor property is automatically set by the chart to half the UnitMajor value. Although the chart automatically sets the UnitMinor property, it also can be manually changed to a different value.
