      • setAllowDecimals

        public void setAllowDecimals​(Boolean allowDecimals)
        Whether to allow decimals in this axis' ticks. When counting integers, like persons or hits on a web page, decimals should be avoided in the labels.

        Defaults to: true

        Specified by:

        Specified by:
        setAlternateGridColor in class Axis

      • setAngle

        public void setAngle​(Number angle)
        In a polar chart, this is the angle of the Y axis in degrees, where 0 is up and 90 is right. The angle determines the position of the axis line and the labels, though the coordinate system is unaffected.

        Defaults to: 0

      • setBreaks

        public void setBreaks​(Breaks[] breaks)
        An array defining breaks in the axis, the sections defined will be left out and all the points shifted closer to each other. Requires that the broken-axis.js module is loaded.

      • setCategories

        public void setCategories​(String... categories)

        If categories are present for the xAxis, names are used instead of numbers for that axis. Since Highcharts 3.0, categories can also be extracted by giving each point a name and setting axis type to category. However, if you have multiple series, best practice remains defining the categories array.

        Example: 

         categories: ['Apples', 'Bananas', 'Oranges']
        Defaults to null

        Specified by:
        setCategories in class Axis

        Specified by:
        setMinPadding in class Axis

      • setMinRange

        public void setMinRange​(Number minRange)

        The minimum range to display on this axis. The entire axis will not be allowed to span over a smaller interval than this. For example, for a datetime axis the main unit is milliseconds. If minRange is set to 3600000, you can't zoom in more than to one hour.

        The default minRange for the x axis is five times the smallest interval between any of the data points.

        On a logarithmic axis, the unit for the minimum range is the power. So a minRange of 1 means that the axis can be zoomed to 10-100, 100-1000, 1000-10000 etc.

        Note that the minPadding, maxPadding, startOnTick and endOnTick settings also affect how the extremes of the axis are computed.

        setMinRange in class Axis

      • setMinTickInterval

        public void setMinTickInterval​(Number minTickInterval)

        Color for the minor tick marks.

        Defaults to: #999999

      • setMinorTickInterval

        public void setMinorTickInterval​(String minorTickInterval)

        Tick interval in scale units for the minor ticks. On a linear axis, if "auto", the minor tick interval is calculated as a fifth of the tickInterval. If null, minor ticks are not shown.

        On logarithmic axes, the unit is the power of the value. For example, setting the minorTickInterval to 1 puts one tick on each of 0.1, 1, 10, 100 etc. Setting the minorTickInterval to 0.1 produces 9 ticks between 1 and 10, 10 and 100 etc. A minorTickInterval of "auto" on a log axis results in a best guess, attempting to enter approximately 5 minor ticks between each major tick.

        If user settings dictate minor ticks to become too dense, they don't make sense, and will be ignored to prevent performance problems.

        On axes using categories, minor ticks are not supported.

        Specified by:
        setMinorTickInterval in class Axis

      • setMinorTickLength

      • setOffset

        public void setOffset​(Number offset)
        The distance in pixels from the plot area to the axis line. A positive offset moves the axis with it's line, labels and ticks away from the plot area. This is typically used when two or more axes are displayed on the same side of the plot. With multiple axes the offset is dynamically adjusted to avoid collision, this can be overridden by setting offset explicitly.

        Defaults to: 0

        Specified by:
        setOffset in class Axis

      • setOpposite

        public void setOpposite​(Boolean opposite)

      • setTickAmount

        public void setTickAmount​(Number tickAmount)

        The amount of ticks to draw on the axis. This opens up for aligning the ticks of multiple charts or panes within a chart. This option overrides the tickPixelInterval option.

        This option only has an effect on linear axes. Datetime, logarithmic or category axes are not affected.

      • setTickInterval

        public void setTickInterval​(Number tickInterval)

        The interval of the tick marks in axis units. When null, the tick interval is computed to approximately follow the tickPixelInterval on linear and datetime axes. On categorized axes, a null tickInterval will default to 1, one category. Note that datetime axes are based on milliseconds, so for example an interval of one day is expressed as 24 * 3600 * 1000.

        On logarithmic axes, the tickInterval is based on powers, so a tickInterval of 1 means one tick on each of 0.1, 1, 10, 100 etc. A tickInterval of 2 means a tick of 0.1, 10, 1000 etc. A tickInterval of 0.2 puts a tick on 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 20, 40 etc.

        If the tickInterval is too dense for labels to be drawn, Highcharts may remove ticks.

        If the chart has multiple axes, the alignTicks option may interfere with the tickInterval setting.

        Specified by:
        setTickInterval in class Axis

      • setTickLength

        public void setTickLength​(Number tickLength)
