Placing Grid Labels and Tick Marks
The X-Axis and Y-Axis pop-up menus in the Axis pane of the Chart Inspector provide an array
of options for placing tick marks and labels along the value axis or the series axis. These pop-
up menus, pictured below, contain different options depending upon which kind of chart
you have selected.
For vertical bar charts (column charts), line charts, and area charts, the Y-axis is the value
axis, while the X-axis is the series axis; for horizontal bar charts, the X-axis is the value axis.
Here, pop-up menus are pictured as they appear when a column chart is selected.
