axis options

This page aims to explain the options available in the axis category. It will discuss the purpose of each argument, the possible values it can take, and the expected outcome of each argument.

axis_flip

Swaps the X and Y axes in a plot. By default, it is set to FALSE, meaning the axes are not flipped. When set to TRUE, the orientation of the plot changes. This argument expects a logical values (hdtype Chk).

axis_line_x_size

Specifies the size or thickness of the X-axis line in a plot. The default size is 0 and It expects a value of type numeric (hdtype Num).

axis_reversed

Reverses the axes of the plot, such as flipping the Y-axis so that higher values appear at the bottom.The default value is FALSE, meaning the axes are not reversed. Its value type is logical (hdtype Chk), with possible values of TRUE or FALSE.

axis_text_angle

Specifies the angle of the axis text in a graphic. This can help improve readability when there are many labels or when labels are long. The default angle is 0 degrees, which means the text is horizontal.You can specify an angle between -90 and 90 degrees to rotate the text. It expects a value of type numeric (hdtype Num).

axis_text_wrap

Specifies the number of words to wrap in axis labels before wrapping onto the next line. By default, it is set to 6, so axis labels will wrap to the next line after 6 words. This allows long labels to be displayed on multiple lines, improving readability. It expects a value of type numeric (hdtype Num).

axis_x_reversed

Reverses the order of the data on the X-axis of a chart. When set to True, the highest values appear on the left and the lowest values on the right. It expects a value of type logical (hdtype Chk).

axis_x_text_angle

Specifies the angle of the labels on the X-axis in a chart.The default value is NULL, which means no rotation is applied. Also, you can specify an angle between -90 and 90 degrees to rotate the text. It expects a value of type numeric (hdtype Num).

axis_x_text_wrap

Specifies the number of words in the labels on the X-axis in a chart. This allows long labels to be displayed on multiple lines and avoids text overlap. The default value is NULL, indicating that no word wrapping is applied. It expects a value of type numeric (hdtype Num).

axis_y_reversed

Inverts the axes of the chart (e.g., reverses the Y-axis so that higher values are closer to the origin). If the chart is flipped, the X-axis is reversed by default and means that the order of the data on the Y-axis is reversed. The default value is FALSE, indicating that the axes are not reversed. It expects a value of type logical (hdtype Chk).

axis_y_text_angle

Controls the angle of the labels on the Y-axis. The default value is NULL, which means no rotation is applied. The angle can range from -90 to 90 degrees. It expects a value of type numeric (hdtype Num).

axis_y_text_wrap

Specifies the number of words in the labels of the Y-axis in a chart. This parameter allows long labels to be displayed on multiple lines, preventing text overlap. The default value is NULL, indicating that no word wrapping is applied. It expects a value of type numeric (hdtype Num).

title_axis_color

Specifies the color of the text used for the axis titles in a chart. This helps distinguish the axis titles from other text in the visualization. The default value is NULL, indicating that the color is not explicitly set. It expects a value of type character (hdtype Clr).

title_axis_size

Defines the font size for the axis titles in a graphic. The default size is 13 points, and you can specify values from 1 to 20 points. It expects a value of type numeric (hdtype Num).

title_axis_x

Specifies the title for the X-axis of a chart, describing the variable or data represented on the horizontal axis. It expects a value of type character (hdtype Txt).

title_axis_y

Specifies the title for the Y-axis of a chart, describing the variable or data represented on the vertical axis. It expects a value of type character (hdtype Txt).

title_axis_y2

Specifies the title for the secondary Y-axis in a chart. In charts with two Y-axes, each axis can represent different types of data or scales, and this title would help identify the nature of the data represented by the secondary Y-axis. The default value is NULL and the argument expects a value of type character (hdtype Txt).
