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:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Alignment | Gets or sets the text alignment within the axis display. Inherits from the ChartArea. |
| Compass | Allows you to set the position of the axis. For example, you may want to display the X-axis above the data instead of below. |
| C1.Win.C1Chart.Style.Font | Sets the font used to display the values along the axis. |
| ForeColor | Sets the color used to display the axis, tickmarks, and values. |
| OnTop | Gets or sets whether axis and gridlines appear on top of the chart image. |
| Reversed | Gets or sets whether the axis is normal or reversed (ascending or descending). |
| Text | Sets a string to display next to the axis (this is typically used to describe the variable and units being depicted by the axis). |
| Rotation | Sets the orientation of the Text string. |
