#YAxis
##Properties
| Datatype | Property name | Property description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nullable | AllowDecimals | Whether to allow decimals in this axis' ticks. When counting integers, like persons or hits on a web page, decimals must be avoided in the axis tick labels. Default: true | null |
| Nullable | AlternateGridColor | When using an alternate grid color, a band is painted across the plot area between every other grid line. | null |
| String[] | Categories | <p>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'.</p><p>Example:<pre>categories: ['Apples', 'Bananas', 'Oranges']</pre> Defaults to null</p> |
null |
| DateTimeLabel | DateTimeLabelFormats | For a datetime axis, the scale will automatically adjust to the appropriate unit. This member gives the default string representations used for each unit. For an overview of the replacement codes, see dateFormat. Defaults to:<pre>{ millisecond: '%H:%M:%S.%L', second: '%H:%M:%S', minute: '%H:%M', hour: '%H:%M', day: '%e. %b', week: '%e. %b', month: '%b '%y', year: '%Y'}</pre> | null |
| Nullable | EndOnTick | Whether to force the axis to end on a tick. Use this option with the maxPadding option to control the axis end. Default: true |
null |
| YAxisEvents | Events | null | |
| Nullable | GridLineColor | Color of the grid lines extending the ticks across the plot area. Default: #C0C0C0 | null |
| Nullable | GridLineDashStyle | The dash or dot style of the grid lines. For possible values, see this demonstration. Default: Solid | null |
| String | GridLineInterpolation | null | |
| Nullable | GridLineWidth | The width of the grid lines extending the ticks across the plot area. Default: 1 | null |
| String | Id | An id for the axis. This can be used after render time to get a pointer to the axis object through chart.get(). |
null |
| YAxisLabels | Labels | null | |
| Nullable | LineColor | The color of the line marking the axis itself. Default: #C0D0E0 | null |
| Nullable | LineWidth | The width of the line marking the axis itself. Default: 0 | null |
| Nullable | LinkedTo | Index of another axis that this axis is linked to. When an axis is linked to a master axis, it will take the same extremes as the master, but as assigned by min or max or by setExtremes. It can be used to show additional info, or to ease reading the chart by duplicating the scales. | null |
| Nullable | Max | The maximum value of the axis. If null, the max value is automatically calculated. If the endOnTick option is true, the max value might be rounded up. The actual maximum value is also influenced by chart.alignTicks. |
null |
| Nullable | MaxPadding | Padding of the max value relative to the length of the axis. A padding of 0.05 will make a 100px axis 5px longer. This is useful when you don't want the highest data value to appear on the edge of the plot area. Default: 0.05 | null |
| Nullable | MaxZoom | null | |
| Nullable | Min | The minimum value of the axis. If null the min value is automatically calculated. If the startOnTick option is true, the min value might be rounded down. |
null |
| Nullable | MinorGridLineColor | Color of the minor, secondary grid lines. Default: #E0E0E0 | null |
| Nullable | MinorGridLineDashStyle | The dash or dot style of the minor grid lines. For possible values, see this demonstration. Default: Solid | null |
| Nullable | MinorGridLineWidth | Width of the minor, secondary grid lines. Default: 1 | null |
| Nullable | MinorTickColor | Color for the minor tick marks. Default: #A0A0A0 | null |
| Nullable | MinorTickInterval | <p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>On axes using categories, minor ticks are not supported.</p> |
null |
| Nullable | MinorTickLength | The pixel length of the minor tick marks. Default: 2 | null |
| Nullable | MinorTickPosition | The position of the minor tick marks relative to the axis line. Can be one of inside and outside. Default: outside |
null |
| Nullable | MinorTickWidth | The pixel width of the minor tick mark. Default: 0 | null |
| Nullable | MinPadding | Padding of the min value relative to the length of the axis. A padding of 0.05 will make a 100px axis 5px longer. This is useful when you don't want the lowest data value to appear on the edge of the plot area. Default: 0.05 | null |
| Nullable | MinRange | <p>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.</p><p>The default minRange for the x axis is five times the smallest interval between any of the data points.</p><p>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.</p> | null |
| Nullable | MinTickInterval | The minimum tick interval allowed in axis values. For example on zooming in on an axis with daily data, this can be used to prevent the axis from showing hours. | null |
| Nullable | 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. Default: 0 | null |
| Nullable | Opposite | Whether to display the axis on the opposite side of the normal. The normal is on the left side for vertical axes and bottom for horizontal, so the opposite sides will be right and top respectively. This is typically used with dual or multiple axes. Default: false | null |
| YAxisPlotBands[] | PlotBands | null | |
| YAxisPlotLines[] | PlotLines | null | |
| Nullable | Reversed | Whether to reverse the axis so that the highest number is closest to origo. If the chart is inverted, the x axis is reversed by default. Default: false | null |
| Nullable | ShowEmpty | Whether to show the axis line and title when the axis has no data. Defaults to true. Default: true |
null |
| Nullable | ShowFirstLabel | Whether to show the first tick label. Default: true | null |
| Nullable | ShowLastLabel | Whether to show the last tick label. Default: true | null |
| YAxisStackLabels | StackLabels | The stack labels show the total value for each bar in a stacked column or bar chart. The label will be placed on top of positive columns and below negative columns. In case of an inverted column chart or a bar chart the label is placed to the right of positive bars and to the left of negative bars. | null |
| Nullable | StartOfWeek | For datetime axes, this decides where to put the tick between weeks. 0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday. Default: 1 | null |
| Nullable | StartOnTick | Whether to force the axis to start on a tick. Use this option with the maxPadding option to control the axis start. Default: true |
null |
| Nullable | TickColor | Color for the main tick marks. Default: #C0D0E0 | null |
| Nullable | TickInterval | <p>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.</p><p>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.</p> |
null |
| Nullable | TickLength | The pixel length of the main tick marks. Default: 5 | null |
| Nullable | TickmarkPlacement | For categorized axes only. If 'on' the tick mark is placed in the center of the category, if 'between' the tick mark is placed between categories. Default: between | null |
| Nullable | TickPixelInterval | If tickInterval is null this option sets the approximate pixel interval of the tick marks. Not applicable to categorized axis. Defaults to 72 for the Y axis and 100 forthe X axis. |
null |
| Nullable | TickPosition | The position of the major tick marks relative to the axis line. Can be one of inside and outside. Default: outside |
null |
| String | TickPositioner | A callback function returning array defining where the ticks are laid out on the axis. This overrides the default behaviour of tickPixelInterval and tickInterval. Default: null | null |
| Nullable[] | TickPositions | An array defining where the ticks are laid out on the axis. This overrides the default behaviour of tickPixelInterval and tickInterval. Default: null | null |
| Nullable | TickWidth | The pixel width of the major tick marks. Default: 0 | null |
| YAxisTitle | Title | null | |
| Nullable | Type | The type of axis. Can be one of 'linear', 'logarithmic', 'datetime' or 'category'. In a datetime axis, the numbers are given in milliseconds, and tick marks are placed on appropriate values like full hours or days. In a category axis, the point names of the first series are used for categories, if not a categories array is defined. Default: linear |
