Remarks
Each axis displayed by the Xceed Chart for WinForms component is represented by a class derived from this class. The user can obtain a reference to the five standard axes with the help of the Axis method of the Chart class. The following code obtains a reference to the PrimaryY axis.
Dim axis As Axis = Chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY);
Axis axis = Chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY);
' create a custom vertical axis
Dim axis As Axis = Chart.Axes.AddCustomAxis(AxisOrientation.Vertical,AxisPredefinedPosition.FrontRight)
' save the axis id
Dim nAxisId As Integer = axis.AxisId
...
' obtain a reference to the axis with the saved id
Dim customAxis As Axis = Chart.Axis(nAxisId)
// create a custom vertical axis
Axis axis = Chart.Axes.AddCustomAxis(AxisOrientation.Vertical, AxisPredefinedPosition.FrontRight);
// save the axis id
int nAxisId = axis.AxisId;
...
// obtain a reference to the axis with the saved id
Axis customAxis = Chart.Axis(nAxisId);
