LabelUp(axis) - Draw numerical axis labels upright?

Description:
This attribute controls the appearance of annotated axes by determining whether the numerical labels for each axis should be drawn upright or not. It takes a separate value for each physical axis so that, for instance, the setting "LabelUp(2)=1"  specifies that numerical labels for the second axis should be drawn upright.

If the LabelUp value axis is non-zero, it causes numerical labels for that axis to be plotted upright (i.e. as normal, horizontal text), otherwise (the default) these labels rotate to follow the axis to which they apply.

Type:

Integer (boolean).
Notes:
  • In some circumstances, numerical labels and tick marks are drawn around the edges of the plotting area (see the Labelling  attribute). In this case, the value of the LabelUp attribute is ignored.

  • If no axis is specified, (e.g. LabelUp instead of LabelUp(2)), then both axes are affected.
