ChartAxis.minor_unit property

Returns or sets the distance between minor tick marks.

@property
def minor_unit(self) -> float:
    ...

@minor_unit.setter
def minor_unit(self, value: float):
    ...

Remarks

Valid range of a value is greater than zero. The property has effect for time category and value axes.

Setting this property sets the ChartAxis.minor_unit_is_auto property to False.
