vegalite (version 0.6.1)

axis_x: General axis setttings (x-axis)

Description

Axes provide axis lines, ticks and labels to convey how a spatial range represents a data range. Simply put, axes visualize scales.

By default, Vega-Lite automatically creates axes for x, y, row, and column channels when they are encoded. Axis can be customized via the axis property of a channel definition.

Usage

axis_x(vl, axisWidth = NULL, layer = NULL, offset = NULL, grid = NULL, labels = TRUE, labelAngle = NULL, labelAlign = NULL, labelBaseline = NULL, labelMaxLength = 25, shortTimeLabels = NULL, subdivide = NULL, ticks = NULL, tickPadding = NULL, tickSize = NULL, tickSizeMajor = NULL, tickSizeMinor = NULL, tickSizeEnd = NULL, title = "", titleOffset = NULL, titleMaxLength = NULL, characterWidth = 6, orient = NULL, format = NULL, remove = FALSE)
