    Clicking on the button opens the navigational tree view of the chart elements in the left pane of the Chart Properties designer.

    Font button

    The Font command button exposes the Font dialog box for the AxisX and AxisY elements. Here the Font style can be modified for the Axes' text.


    Position button

    The Position command button has a drop-down list box which includes a list of different compass directions (West, East, North, or South) for the user to choose from. The AxisY compass directions will position the AxisY to the West position which is to the left of the Chart or to the East position which is to the right of the Chart. The AxisX compass directions will position the AxisX to the South which is below the chart or to the North which is above the chart. The default compass position for the AxisY is West and the default position for the AxisX is South.
