Axes

The X, Y, and Y2 properties of the ChartArea object returns Axis objects that allow you to customize the appearance of the chart axes. The axes are represented by sub-properties of the ChartArea property: ChartArea.AxisX, ChartArea.AxisY, and ChartArea.AxisY2. Each of these properties returns an Axis object with the following main properties:
