To access this command...

Axis line

Select where to cross the other axis: at start, at end, at a specified value, or at a category.

Position Axis

On tick marks

Specifies that the axis is positioned on the first/last tick marks. This makes the data points visual representation begin/end at the value axis.

Between tick marks

Specifies that the axis is positioned between the tick marks. This makes the data points visual representation begin/end at a distance from the value axis.

Labels

Place labels

Select where to place the labels: near axis, near axis (other side), outside start, or outside end.

Interval marks

Major:

Specifies whether the marks are to be on the inner or outer side of the axis. It is possible to combine both: you will then see marks on both sides.

Inner

Specifies that marks are placed on the inner side of the axis.

Outer

Specifies that marks are placed on the outer side of the axis.

Minor:

This area is used to define the marking dashes between the axis marks. It is possible to activate both fields. This will result in a marking line running from the outside to the inside.

Inner

Specifies that minor interval marks are placed on the inner side of the axis.

Outer

Specifies that minor interval marks are placed on the outer side of the axis.

Place marks

Select where to place the marks: at labels, at axis, or at axis and labels.
