CATEGORICAL AXIS

Locate at Zero	Places the axis on the zero position of the other axis.

Flip Location	Moves the axis to the other side of the chart area. From bottom to top or from right to left.

Offset	Moves the axis away from the plot area.

Outer Padding	Adds outer padding on both sides of the chart. The chart is squashed inside.

Axis Above	Places axis above or below chart elements (bars, lines, marks, etc.)

Jitter (available in Scatter Plot)	Diffuses data marks randomly at a distance between 0 and the selected value

Sorting (available in certain charts)	Sorts axis in a certain order: None, Ascending, Descending, Reverse

NUMERICAL AXIS

Locate at Zero (available in certain charts)	Places the axis on the zero position of the other axis.

Flip Location	Moves the axis to the other side of the chart area. From bottom to top, from right to left.

Offset	Moves the axis away from the plot area.

Scale (available in certain charts)	Sets the scale of the axis: Linear or Logarithmic.

Constant (available in certain charts)	For logarithmic scaled axes only. A true logarithmic scale goes infinite near zero. To avoid this we use a function called symlog which allows to set a range, or constant, around zero where the axis will be linear instead of logarithmic. The larger the constant, the closer the axis is to a linear scale. When omitted, the constant is equal to the lowest value on the axis.

Reverse	Sorts axis values either ascending if the checkbox is off or descending if the checkbox is on.

Min Value	Sets the minimum shown value on the axis. Should be smaller than the minimum value from the data.

Max Value	Sets the maximum shown value on the axis. Should be bigger than the maximum value from the data.

Allow data cropping	Allows to crop the data range with using Min Value and Max Value. Note that applying this property may cause distortion of the data representation. Caution! Only works if Styling > Position and Size > Plot Area is on Fixed Position. (Not available for bullet chart)

Hide Zero	Hide Ticks, Gridlines, and Labels that are connected with 0 on the axis.

Axis Above	Places axis above or below chart elements (bars, lines, marks, etc.)

DATETIME AXIS

Locate at zero	Places the axis on the level of 0 of the other axis.

Flip Location	Moves the axis to the other side of the chart area. From bottom to top, from right to left, and vice versa.

Offset	Moves the axis away from the plot area.

Reverse	Sorts axis values either ascending if the checkbox is off or descending if the checkbox is on.

Min DateTime	Sets the minimum shown value on the axis. Should be smaller than the minimum value from the data.

Max DateTime	Sets the maximum shown value on the axis. Should be bigger than the maximum value from the data.

Allow Data Cropping	Allows to crop the data range with using Min Date Time and Max Date Time. Note that applying this property may cause distortion of the data representation. Caution! Only works if Styling > Position and Size > Plot Area is on Fixed Position.
DateTime Format	Set the format of date representation. For all the details about time format options see https://help.datylon.com/date

Locale	Allows selecting locale settings in 31 different languages for Datetime label formatting e.g. (abbreviated) weekday names, (abbreviated) month names, etc.

Axis Above	Places axis above or below chart elements (bars, lines, marks, etc.)
