Axis label

axis.labelBlock elementGraph

A value on an axis, named. It puts a name where the number would have gone and takes the number away — the way to mark what a reader should recognise: a period, a mean, a boundary, a solution. The axis is chosen by which coordinate is given, as a point takes x and y. `line: true` adds a rule across the plot at that value, under the marks.

Attributes

labelRequiredImplicit

rich-text

Also written: text, nameThe name itself — rich text, so `$\pi$` sets as maths.The head shorthand supplies it: axis.label:value

parametised-number

The value on the x axis to name. Give this OR y, never both.

parametised-number

The value on the y axis to name.

line

boolean

Also written: rule, gridlineA rule across the plot at that value, drawn under the marks.

Defaultfalse

dashed

boolean

Whether that rule is dashed.

Defaulttrue

Also written: text-sizeText size, in the graph's points.

Default20

colour

Also written: colorThe name, and its rule.
