Edge(axis) - Which edges to label

Description:

This attribute controls the appearance of annotated axes by determining which edges are used for displaying numerical and descriptive axis labels. It takes a separate value for each physical axis so that, for instance, the setting Edge(2)=left  specifies which edge to use to display labels for the second axis.

The values left, top, right and bottom (or any abbreviation) can be supplied for this attribute. The default is usually bottom for the first axis and left for the second axis. However, if exterior labelling was requested (see the Labelling  attribute) but cannot be produced using these default Edge values, then the default values will be swapped if this enables exterior labelling to be produced.

Type:

String.

Notes:

• In some circumstances, numerical labels will be drawn along internal grid lines instead of at the edges of the plotting area (see the Labelling  attribute). In this case, the Edge attribute only affects the placement of the descriptive labels (these are drawn at the edges of the plotting area, rather than along the axis lines).
