An id for the axis. This can be used after render time to get a pointer to the axis object through chart.get()
.
The color of the line marking the axis itself.
The color of the line marking the axis itself.
The width of the line marking the axis itself.
The width of the line marking the axis itself.
Index of another axis that this axis is linked to.
Index of another axis that this axis is linked to. When an axis is linked to a master axis, it will take the same extremes as the master, but as assigned by min or max or by setExtremes. It can be used to show additional info, or to ease reading the chart by duplicating the scales.
The maximum value of the axis.
The maximum value of the axis. If null
, the max value is automatically calculated. If the endOnTick
option is true, the max
value might be rounded up. The actual maximum value is also influenced by chart.alignTicks.
Padding of the max value relative to the length of the axis.
Padding of the max value relative to the length of the axis. A padding of 0.05 will make a 100px axis 5px longer. This is useful when you don't want the highest data value to appear on the edge of the plot area. When the axis' max
option is set or a max extreme is set using axis.setExtremes()
, the maxPadding will be ignored.
Deprecated.
Deprecated. Use minRange
instead.
The minimum value of the axis.
The minimum value of the axis. If null
the min value is automatically calculated.
If the startOnTick
option is true, the min
value might be rounded down.
The automatically calculated minimum value is also affected by floor, minPadding, minRange as well as series.threshold and series.softThreshold.
Padding of the min value relative to the length of the axis.
Padding of the min value relative to the length of the axis. A padding of 0.05 will make a 100px axis 5px longer. This is useful when you don't want the lowest data value to appear on the edge of the plot area. When the axis' min
option is set or a min extreme is set using axis.setExtremes()
, the minPadding will be ignored.
The minimum range to display on this axis.
The minimum range to display on this axis. The entire axis will not be allowed to span over a smaller interval than this. For example, for a datetime axis the main unit is milliseconds. If minRange is set to 3600000, you can't zoom in more than to one hour.
The default minRange for the x axis is five times the smallest interval between any of the data points.
On a logarithmic axis, the unit for the minimum range is the power. So a minRange of 1 means that the axis can be zoomed to 10-100, 100-1000, 1000-10000 etc.
Note that the minPadding
, maxPadding
, startOnTick
and endOnTick
settings also affect how the extremes of the axis are computed.
The minimum tick interval allowed in axis values.
The minimum tick interval allowed in axis values. For example on zooming in on an axis with daily data, this can be used to prevent the axis from showing hours. Defaults to the closest distance between two points on the axis.

Color for the minor tick marks.
Color for the minor tick marks.
Tick interval in scale units for the minor ticks.
Tick interval in scale units for the minor ticks. On a linear axis, if "auto"
,
the minor tick interval is calculated as a fifth of the tickInterval. If
null
, minor ticks are not shown.
On logarithmic axes, the unit is the power of the value. For example, setting the minorTickInterval to 1 puts one tick on each of 0.1, 1, 10, 100 etc. Setting the minorTickInterval to 0.1 produces 9 ticks between 1 and 10, 10 and 100 etc. A minorTickInterval of "auto" on a log axis results in a best guess, attempting to enter approximately 5 minor ticks between each major tick.
If user settings dictate minor ticks to become too dense, they don't make sense, and will be ignored to prevent performance problems.
The pixel length of the minor tick marks.
The pixel length of the minor tick marks.
The position of the minor tick marks relative to the axis line.
The position of the minor tick marks relative to the axis line. Can be one of inside
and outside
.
The pixel width of the minor tick mark.
The pixel width of the minor tick mark.
The distance in pixels from the plot area to the axis line.
The distance in pixels from the plot area to the axis line. A positive offset moves the axis with it's line, labels and ticks away from the plot area. This is typically used when two or more axes are displayed on the same side of the plot.
Whether to display the axis on the opposite side of the normal.
Whether to display the axis on the opposite side of the normal. The normal is on the left side for vertical axes and bottom for horizontal, so the opposite sides will be right and top respectively. In Highstock 1.x, the Y axis was placed on the left side by default.
In an ordinal axis, the points are equally spaced in the chart regardless of the actual time or x distance between them.
In an ordinal axis, the points are equally spaced in the chart regardless of the actual time or x distance between them. This means that missing data for nights or weekends will not take up space in the chart.

Whether to force the axis to start on a tick.
Whether to force the axis to start on a tick. Use this option with the maxPadding
option to control the axis start.
The amount of ticks to draw on the axis.
The amount of ticks to draw on the axis. This opens up for aligning the ticks of multiple charts or panes within a chart. This option overrides the tickPixelInterval
option.

2.1.0
Color for the main tick marks.
Color for the main tick marks.
The interval of the tick marks in axis units.
The interval of the tick marks in axis units. When null
, the tick interval is computed to approximately follow the tickPixelInterval on linear and datetime axes. On categorized axes, a null
tickInterval will default to 1, one category. Note that datetime axes are based on milliseconds, so for example an interval of one day is expressed as 24 * 3600 * 1000
.
If the tickInterval is too dense for labels to be drawn, Highcharts may remove ticks.
The pixel length of the main tick marks.
The pixel length of the main tick marks.
If tickInterval is null
this option sets the approximate pixel interval of the tick marks.
If tickInterval is null
this option sets the approximate pixel interval of the tick marks. Not applicable to categorized axis. Defaults to 72
for the Y axis and 100
for the X axis.
The position of the major tick marks relative to the axis line.
The position of the major tick marks relative to the axis line. Can be one of inside
and outside
.
A callback function to compute on what values the ticks should be placed.
A callback function to compute on what values the ticks should be placed. Returns an array of numbers. The min
and max
of the axis are passed in as the first and second parameter. Options like tickInterval
can be accessed by this.options.tickInterval
. The automatic tick positions are accessible through this.tickPositions
and can be modified by the callback.Note that in stock charts, the last label is hidden by default by the showLastLabel
option.
