<H3><A NAME="7_19_1">7.19.1  Standard two axis graphs</A></H3>
<P> Assuming we start with the traditional two axis graph, one X and one
 Y axis. You may then change the position of each axis by calling <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_SETPOS">
 Axis::SetPos($aPosition)</A> You have to remember that you need to
 specify the position on the other axis. SO you need to specify the
 world-coordinate for the position. By default the axis are each
 positioned at the 0-point on the other axis, i.e. the axis will cross
 at the 0,0 point in the graph.</P>
<P> In addition to the standard positioning you may also use the two
 special position markers &quot;min&quot; and &quot;max&quot;. This will position the axis
 at the minimum (or maximum) position of the other axis.</P>
<P> For example, to make sure that the X-axis is always at the bottom of
 the graph (at lowest possible Y-value) you would have to add the line</P>

color="#0000BB"></FONT></FONT></CODE></DIV></P>
<P></P>
<P> To change the color and width of the axis you have to make use of
 the <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_SETCOLOR"> Axis::SetColor()</A> and
 <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_SETWEIGHT"> Axis::SetWeight()</A>
 methods.</P>
<HR> <SMALL><STRONG> Invisible axis</STRONG> Even though JpGraph (1.7)
 doesn't directly support &quot;hidden&quot; axis where the labels are still drawn
 it is very easy to achieve this effect by setting the colors of the
 axis to be the same as the background. See the example barintex2.php in
 the Example directory. To completely hide an axis you can make use of
 the <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_HIDE"> Hide()</A></SMALL>
<HR>
<P> You might also want to add titles to the axis. This is done through
 the <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_SETTITLE"> Axis::SetTitle()</A>
 method. This is actually just a shortcut for accessing the title
 property direct. Axis::title::Set() which also allow you to set the
 alignment in one call.</P>
<P> By default the position of the title is to the far right for the
 X-axis and in the middle (and 90 degrees rotated) for the Y-axis.</P>
<P> You can adjust the position of the title with the help of the second
 argument to the <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_SETTITLE">
 Axis::SetTitle()</A> method.</P>
<P> The possible positions are &quot;high&quot;,&quot;middle&quot; and &quot;low&quot; which refers to
 the scale values on the axis.</P>
<P> One common modification you might want to do to the title is to
 increase the margin between the axis and the actual title. This is
 often necessary to do for the Y-axis if the values displayed are large.
 You may adjust the distance (in pixels) between the axis and the title
 by using the method <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_SETTITLEMARGIN">
 Axis::SetTitleMargin()</A></P>
<P> So for example to increase the margin on the Y-axis you might add
 the line</P>
<P><DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT color="#000000"> <FONT color="#0000BB">
&nbsp;$graph</FONT><FONT color="#007700">-&gt;</FONT><FONT color="#0000BB">yaxis</FONT><FONT
color="#007700">-&gt;</FONT><FONT color="#0000BB">SetTitleMargin</FONT><FONT
color="#007700">(</FONT><FONT color="#0000BB">40</FONT><FONT color="#007700">
);</FONT><FONT color="#0000BB"></FONT></FONT></CODE></DIV></P>
<P></P>
<P> to your code.</P>
<P> Finally we mention something about the positioning of tick marks and
 labels on the axis. You have the possibility to choose what side of the
 axis the tick marks and the labels should be at. For the X-axis this
 can be specified as either on the the top (inside the plot area) or at
 bottom (outside of the plotarea). In the same way you can specify for
 the Y-axis if the labels ( or ticks) should be on the left or right
 side.</P>
<P> To adjust the label positioning you have to use the method <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_SETTITLESIDE">
 Axis::SetTitleSide()</A> and to adjust the position of the tick mark
 you have to use the method <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_SETTICKSIDE">
 SetTickSide()</A><DIV class="note"><B>Note:</B> There is also an alias
 for this method, SetTickDirection() which is deprecated from version
 1.7 but kept for backwards compatibility.</DIV> Valid arguments for
 these methods are</P>
<UL>
<LI> SIDE_UP</LI>
<LI> SIDE_DOWN</LI>
<LI> SIDE_LEFT</LI>
<LI> SIDE_RIGHT</LI>
</UL>
<P> For example, the following lines added to a script would change side
 of the labels and tickmarks for the X-axis.</P>
<P><DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT color="#000000"> <FONT color="#0000BB">
&nbsp;$graph</FONT><FONT color="#007700">-&gt;</FONT><FONT color="#0000BB">xaxis</FONT><FONT

SIDE_DOWN</FONT><FONT color="#007700">);</FONT><FONT color="#0000BB"></FONT>
</FONT></CODE></DIV></P>
<P></P>
<P> This technique is for example used if you position the X-axis at the
 top of the graph as the following example shows.<DIV class="example">

 X-axis as well as adjusting the side for the tick and axis title <A href="exframes/frame_topxaxisex1.html"
