	<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>An axis is part of a coordinate system, which is a system of two or more lines, positioned at right angles, which define one or more points on a plane. In mathematics, an x, y, and z axis are used. The Chart Manager has four axes:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Category axis as x-axis</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Data axis as y-axis</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Series axis as z-axis</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Data axis II as (second) y-axis</ListItem>
		</List>
		<List><ListIntro>Three axes are required to draw a graph:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>The series axis</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The category axis</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The data axis</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph class="Default">The data axis II is used if two (or more) different series must be drawn to a different scale in one graph for comparison.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph class="Default">The axes of a vertical graph are placed as follows:</Paragraph>
		<TABLE border="1" borderstyle="default" space-and-orientation="indented-estimated"><TBODY><TR><TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">Category axis (x-axis):</TD>
					<TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">horizontal</TD>
				</TR>
				<TR><TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">Data axis (y-axis):</TD>
					<TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">vertical, left</TD>
				</TR>
				<TR><TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">Data II axis:</TD>
					<TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">vertical, right</TD>
				</TR>
				<TR><TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">Series axis (z-axis):</TD>
					<TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">horizontal, right (3-D only)</TD>
				</TR>
			</TBODY>
		</TABLE>
		<Paragraph class="Default">The category axis (horizontal axis) can intersect the data axes at any point; the intersection is defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tt/chm/ttchm3130s000" role="session">Axis Data (ttchm3130s000)</GUIRef> session on the Data menu. In a horizontal graph the data axis is positioned below and the data axis II above; the series axis is on the right and the category axis is on the left-hand side.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph class="Default">The attributes must always be filled, even if the axes are not visible, as the data is always placed in a (fictive) coordinate system.</Paragraph>
