grAxis object

The PowerBuilder class grAxis is used as part of a graph control. Each graph has three grAxis objects: Category, Series, and Values.

To refer to a property of an axis, use this syntax:

graphcontrolname.axisname.property

For example: gr_1.Series.AutoScale

A grAxis object has no events.

Properties

grAxis property	Datatype	Description
AutoScale	Boolean	Specifies whether PowerBuilder scales the axis automatically. Values are: TRUE – Automatically scale FALSE – Do not automatically scale
ClassDefinition	PowerObject	An object of type PowerObject containing information about the class definition of the object or control.
DataType	grAxisDataType (enumerated)	Specifies the datatype of the axis. Values are: AdtDate! AdtDateTime! AdtDefault! AdtDouble! AdtText! AdtTime!
DispAttr	grDispAttr (object)	Settings that control the appearance of the text that labels the axis divisions.
DisplayEveryNLabels	Integer	Specifies which major axis divisions to label. For example, 2 means label every other tick mark. Use 0 to let the graph select the optimum number of labels to use. If the labels are too long, they are clipped.

Frame	LineStyle (enumerated)	Specifies the type of line used for the frame. See DropLines in this table for the list of values.
Label	String	Specifies the axis label.
LabelDispAttr	grDispAttr (object)	Settings that control the appearance of the axis label text.
MajorDivisions	Integer	Specifies the number of major divisions on the axis.
MajorGridLine	LineStyle (enumerated)	Specifies the type of line for the major grid. See DropLines in this table for the list of values.
MajorTic	grTicType (enumerated)	Specifies the type of the major tick marks. Values are: NoTic! Inside! Outside! Straddle!
MaximumValue	Double	Specifies the maximum value for the axis when its datatype is numeric.
MaxValDateTime	DateTime	Specifies the maximum value for the axis when its datatype is date or time.
MinimumValue	Double	Specifies the minimum value for the axis when its datatype is numeric.
MinorDivisions	Integer	Specifies the number of minor divisions on the axis.
MinorGridLine	LineStyle (enumerated)	Specifies the type of line for the minor grid. See DropLines in this table for the list of values.
MinorTic	grTicType (enumerated)	Specifies the type of the minor tick marks. Values are: NoTic! Inside! Outside! Straddle!
MinValDateTime	DateTime	Specifies the minimum value for the axis when its datatype is date or time.
OriginLine	LineStyle (enumerated)	Specifies the type of origin line for the axis. See DropLines in this table for the list of values.
PrimaryLine	LineStyle (enumerated)	Specifies the type of primary line for the axis. See DropLines in this table for the list of values.
RoundTo	Double	Specifies the value to which you want to round the axis values.
RoundToUnit	grRoundToType (enumerated)	Specifies the units for the rounding value. The units must be appropriate for the axis datatype. Values are listed below. For an axis of any datatype: RndDefault! For an axis of any numeric datatype: RndNumber!
		For an axis of type date or DateTime: RndYears! RndMonths! RndDays! For an axis of type time or DateTime: RndHours! RndMinutes! RndSeconds! RndMicroseconds!
