LogAxis

Package | mx.charts
Class | public class LogAxis
Inheritance | LogAxis NumericAxis AxisBase flash.events.EventDispatcher

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The LogAxis class maps numeric values logarithmically between a minimum and maximum value along a chart axis. By default, it determines `minimum`, `maximum`, and `interval` values from the charting data to fit all of the chart elements on the screen. You can also explicitly set specific values for these properties. A LogAxis object cannot correctly render negative values, as Log10() of a negative number is `undefined`.

The `<mx:LogAxis>` tag inherits all the properties of its parent classes and adds the following properties:

      <mx:LogAxis
        Properties
        interval="10"
        maximum="null"
        maximumLabelPrecision="null"
        minimum="null"
      />

Property Detail

interval | property

`interval:Number`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies the multiplier label values along the axis. A value of 10 generates labels at 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc., while a value of 100 generates labels at 1, 100, 10000, etc. Flex calculates the interval if this property is set to `NaN`. Intervals must be even powers of 10, and must be greater than or equal to 10. The LogAxis rounds the interval down to an even power of 10, if necessary.

The default value is `10`.

Implementation
`public function get interval():Number`
`public function set interval(value:Number):void`

maximum | property |

`maximum:Number`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies the maximum value for an axis label. If `NaN`, Flex determines the maximum value from the data in the chart. The maximum value must be an even power of 10. The LogAxis rounds an explicit maximum value up to an even power of 10, if necessary.

The default value is `NaN`.

Implementation
`public function get maximum():Number`
`public function set maximum(value:Number):void`

maximumLabelPrecision | property |

`maximumLabelPrecision:Number`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies the maximum number of decimal places for representing fractional values on the labels generated by this axis. By default, the Axis autogenerates this value from the labels themselves. A value of 0 round to the nearest integer value, while a value of 2 rounds to the nearest 1/100th of a value.

Implementation
`public function get maximumLabelPrecision():Number`
`public function set maximumLabelPrecision(value:Number):void`

minimum | property |

`minimum:Number`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies the minimum value for an axis label. If `NaN`, Flex determines the minimum value from the data in the chart. The minimum value must be an even power of 10. The LogAxis will round an explicit minimum value downward to an even power of 10 if necessary.

The default value is `NaN`.

Implementation
`public function get minimum():Number`
`public function set minimum(value:Number):void`
