Axis, AxisSection

public abstract class AxisSectionBase
extends Object

Provides access to the AxisSectionBase, which is the base class for both the Axis and AxisSection.

This Base Class is not intended to be used directly by the programmer; however, derived classes can be used for axis customization. For example, the Axis Class is derived from the AxisSectionBase and its members are accessible through the use of the Chart.getAxisX() and Chart.getAxisY() properties. Furthermore, AxisSectionBase is the based Class which AxisSection is derived from.

The members of AxisSectionBase Class are used to customize the Grids, setTextColor(java.awt.Color), and Link of the related Axis and AxisSection.
