Property detail
chartproperty
chart:IChart  [read-write]

The chart in which this axis appears.

Implementation
    public function get chart():IChart
    public function set chart(value:IChart):void
dataProviderproperty 
dataProvider:Array  [read-write]

Data used in determining the axis scale

Implementation
    public function get dataProvider():Array
    public function set dataProvider(value:Array):void
labelFunctionproperty 
labelFunction:Function  [read-write]

A function may be set to determine the text value of the labels.

function labelFunction(value:Object):String

Implementation
    public function get labelFunction():Function
    public function set labelFunction(value:Function):void
labelSpacingproperty 
labelSpacing:Number  [read-write]

The space, in pixels, between labels on an axis.

Implementation
    public function get labelSpacing():Number
    public function set labelSpacing(value:Number):void
maxLabelHeightproperty 
maxLabelHeight:Number  [read-write]

Gets or sets the maximum width of a label

Implementation
    public function get maxLabelHeight():Number
    public function set maxLabelHeight(value:Number):void
maxLabelWidthproperty 
maxLabelWidth:Number  [read-write]

Gets or sets the maximum width of a label

Implementation
    public function get maxLabelWidth():Number
    public function set maxLabelWidth(value:Number):void
rendererproperty 
renderer:IAxisRenderer  [read-write]

The visual renderer associated with this axis.

Implementation
    public function get renderer():IAxisRenderer
    public function set renderer(value:IAxisRenderer):void
reverseproperty 
reverse:Boolean  [read-write]

Sets the direction of the labels and other visual objects along the axis. By default, vertical axes draw objects from bottom to top, and horizontal axes draw objects from left to right.

Implementation
    public function get reverse():Boolean
    public function set reverse(value:Boolean):void
titleproperty 
title:String  [read-write]

The text that will appear next to the axis to indicate information about the data that it displays.

Implementation
    public function get title():String
    public function set title(value:String):void
Method detail
getMaxLabel()method
public function getMaxLabel():String

Returns the maximum string length of a label on the axis.

Returns
String — the formatted label
updateScale()method 
public function updateScale():void

Determines the axis scale based on the input data set. Seperating this function from the draw method optimizes processing time, and it allows the chart to synchronize its axes.

valueToLabel()method 
public function valueToLabel(value:Object):String

Converts a value on the axis to formatted label text.

Parameters
value:Object — the value of the item for which a label is needed

Returns
String — the formatted label text
valueToLocal()method 
public function valueToLocal(value:Object):Number

Calculates the position of a data point along the axis.

Parameters
value:Object — The data used to determine the position

Returns
Number — The display position in pixels on the axis
