Flex components inherit the following properties from the AxisBase class:

      <mx:tagname
        displayName="No default"
        title="No default"
      >

Public Properties

Property Detail

chartDataProvider | property

`chartDataProvider:Object` [write-only]

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The data provider assigned to the enclosing chart. Axis types that are data provider-based can choose to inherit the data provider associated with the enclosing chart. If an axis is shared among multiple charts, the value of this property is `undefined` (most likely it will be the last data provider assigned to one of the associated charts).

Implementation
`public function set chartDataProvider(value:Object):void`

displayName | property |

`displayName:String`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The name of the axis. If set, Flex uses this name to format DataTip controls.

Implementation
`public function get displayName():String`
`public function set displayName(value:String):void`

title | property |

`title:String`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The text for the title displayed along the axis.

Implementation
`public function get title():String`
`public function set title(value:String):void`

unitSize | property |

`unitSize:Number` [read-only]

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The size of one unit of data as represented by this axis. This value is used by various series types to help in rendering. The ColumnSeries class, for example, uses this value to determine how wide columns should be rendered. Different axis types return different values, sometimes dependent on the data being represented. The DateTimeAxis class, for example, might return the number of milliseconds in a day, or a year, depending on the data that is rendered in the chart. Because this value is dependant on collecting the represented data, custom series cannot assume this value is accurate in their `updateData()` or `updateMapping()` methods.

Implementation
`public function get unitSize():Number`
Constructor Detail

AxisBase | () | Constructor

`public function AxisBase()`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Constructor.

Method Detail

dataChanged | () | method

`public function dataChanged():void`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Triggers events that inform the range object when the chart data has changed.

describeData | () | method |

`protected function describeData(requiredFields:uint):Array`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Called by the governing DataTransform to obtain a description of the data represented by this IChartElement. Implementors fill out and return an Array of mx.charts.chartClasses.DataDescription objects to guarantee that their data is correctly accounted for by any axes that are autogenerating values from the displayed data (such as minimum, maximum, interval, and unitSize). Most element types return an Array containing a single DataDescription. Aggregate elements, such as BarSet and ColumnSet, might return multiple DataDescription instances that describe the data displayed by their subelements. When called, the implementor describes the data along the axis indicated by the `dimension` argument. This function might be called for each axis supported by the containing chart.

Parameters

| `requiredFields:uint` — A bitfield that indicates which values of the DataDescription object the particular axis cares about. Implementors can optimize by only calculating the necessary fields.

Returns

| `Array` — An Array of BoundedValue objects containing the DataDescription instances that describe the data that is displayed.

registerDataTransform | () | method |

`public function registerDataTransform(transform:DataTransform, dimensionName:String):void`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Each DataTransform that makes use of an axis registers itself with that axis. The axis is responsible for informing the transform when its relevant values have changed. It should also request values from the transform when it wants to autogenerate minimum and maximum values.

Parameters

| `transform:DataTransform` — The DataTransform to register.
| `dimensionName:String` — The name of the dimension.

unregisterDataTransform | () | method |

`public function unregisterDataTransform(transform:DataTransform):void`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Each DataTransform that makes use of an axis registers itself with that axis. The axis is responsible for informing the transform when its relevant values have changed. It should also request values from the transform when it wants to autogenerate minimum and maximum values.

Parameters

| `transform:DataTransform` — The DataTransform to unregister.
