**Inheritance:**
java.lang.Object
```
public class AxisTimeUnit
```

Specifies the unit of time for axes.

 **Examples:** 

Shows how to insert chart with date/time values.

```

 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 Shape shape = builder.insertChart(ChartType.LINE, 500.0, 300.0);
 Chart chart = shape.getChart();

 // Clear the chart's demo data series to start with a clean chart.
 chart.getSeries().clear();

 // Add a custom series containing date/time values for the X-axis, and respective decimal values for the Y-axis.
 chart.getSeries().add("Aspose Test Series",
         new Date[]
                 {
                         DocumentHelper.createDate(2017, 11, 6), DocumentHelper.createDate(2017, 11, 9), DocumentHelper.createDate(2017, 11, 15),
                         DocumentHelper.createDate(2017, 11, 21), DocumentHelper.createDate(2017, 11, 25), DocumentHelper.createDate(2017, 11, 29)
                 },
         new double[]{1.2, 0.3, 2.1, 2.9, 4.2, 5.3});

 // Set lower and upper bounds for the X-axis.
 ChartAxis xAxis = chart.getAxisX();
 Date datetimeMin = DocumentHelper.createDate(2017, 11, 5);
 xAxis.getScaling().setMinimum(new AxisBound(datetimeMin));
 Date datetimeMax = DocumentHelper.createDate(2017, 12, 3);
 xAxis.getScaling().setMaximum(new AxisBound(datetimeMax));

 // Set the major units of the X-axis to a week, and the minor units to a day.
 xAxis.setBaseTimeUnit(AxisTimeUnit.DAYS);
 xAxis.setMajorUnit(7.0d);
 xAxis.setMajorTickMark(AxisTickMark.CROSS);
 xAxis.setMinorUnit(1.0d);
 xAxis.setMinorTickMark(AxisTickMark.OUTSIDE);
 xAxis.hasMajorGridlines(true);
 xAxis.hasMinorGridlines(true);

 // Define Y-axis properties for decimal values.
 ChartAxis yAxis = chart.getAxisY();
 yAxis.getTickLabels().setPosition(AxisTickLabelPosition.HIGH);
 yAxis.setMajorUnit(100.0d);
 yAxis.setMinorUnit(50.0d);
 yAxis.getDisplayUnit().setUnit(AxisBuiltInUnit.HUNDREDS);
 yAxis.getScaling().setMinimum(new AxisBound(100.0));
 yAxis.getScaling().setMaximum(new AxisBound(700.0));
 yAxis.hasMajorGridlines(true);
 yAxis.hasMinorGridlines(true);
