distance between major tick marks shall be used. | | [get_MajorUnitScale](./get_majorunitscale/)() | Returns or sets the scale value for major tick marks on the time category axis. | | [get_MinorTickMark](./get_minortickmark/)() | Returns or sets the minor tick marks for the axis. | | [get_MinorUnit](./get_minorunit/)() | Returns or sets the distance between minor tick marks. | | [get_MinorUnitIsAuto](./get_minorunitisauto/)() | Gets or sets a flag indicating whether default distance between minor tick marks shall be used. | | [get_MinorUnitScale](./get_minorunitscale/)() | Returns or sets the scale value for minor tick marks on the time category axis. | | [get_NumberFormat](./get_numberformat/)() | Returns a [ChartNumberFormat](../chartnumberformat/) object that allows defining number formats for the axis. | | [get_ReverseOrder](./get_reverseorder/)() | Returns or sets a flag indicating whether values of axis should be displayed in reverse order, i.e. from max to min. | | [get_Scaling](./get_scaling/)() | Provides access to the scaling options of the axis. | | [get_TickLabels](./get_ticklabels/)() | Provides access to the properties of the axis tick mark labels. | | [get_TickMarkSpacing](./get_tickmarkspacing/)() | Gets or sets the interval, at which tick marks are drawn. | | [get_Title](./get_title/)() | Provides access to the axis title properties.

axes. ```cpp auto doc = System::MakeObject(); auto builder = System::MakeObject(doc); System::SharedPtr shape = builder->InsertChart(ChartType::Column, static_cast(500), static_cast(300));

and respective numeric values for the Y-axis. chart->get_Series()->Add(u"Aspose Test Series", System::MakeArray({u"Word", u"PDF", u"Excel", u"GoogleDocs", u"Note"}), System::MakeArray({640, 320, 280,
