'Declaration

<DescriptionAttribute("Controls the shape of the axis")>
<DefaultValueAttribute()>
Public Property AxisStyle As AxisStyle

'Usage
 
Dim instance As Axis
Dim value As AxisStyle
 
instance.AxisStyle = value
 
value = instance.AxisStyle

[Category("General")]
[Description("Controls the shape of the axis")]
[DefaultValue()]
public AxisStyle AxisStyle {get; set;}

When set to Line the axis is displayed as a simple line. The properties of the line are controlled by the LineProperties object accessible by the Border property.

When set to Tape or Tube the axis is filled with the fill effect accessible from the FillEffect property. The Border property in this case specifies the border of the axis.

The following code renders the PrimaryY axis as red tube and removes the circle borders which are displayed on its top and bottom.

Visual Basic

Dim axis As Axis =  Chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY) 
axis.AxisStyle = AxisStyle.Tube
axis.FillEffect.SetSolidColor(Color.Red)
axis.Border.Width = 0

C#

Axis axis = Chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY);
axis.AxisStyle = AxisStyle.Tube;
axis.FillEffect.SetSolidColor(Color.Red);
axis.Border.Width = 0;
