    - #### tickMarksUpdated

          protected void tickMarksUpdated()

      Called during layout if the tickmarks have been updated, allowing subclasses to do anything they need to in reaction.
      Overrides:
        `tickMarksUpdated` in class `Axis<T extends Number>`

    - #### layoutChildren

          protected void layoutChildren()

      Invoked during the layout pass to layout this axis and all its content.
      Overrides:
        `layoutChildren` in class `Axis<T extends Number>`

    - #### invalidateRange

          public void invalidateRange​(List<T> data)

      Called when the data has changed and the range may not be valid anymore. This is only called by the chart if isAutoRanging() returns true. If we are auto ranging it will cause layout to be requested and auto ranging to happen on next layout pass.
      Overrides:
        `invalidateRange` in class `Axis<T extends Number>`
      Parameters:
        `data` - The current set of all data that needs to be plotted on this axis

    - #### getDisplayPosition

          public double getDisplayPosition​(T value)

      Gets the display position along this axis for a given value. If the value is not in the current range, the returned value will be an extrapolation of the display position.
      Specified by:
        `getDisplayPosition` in class `Axis<T extends Number>`
      Parameters:
        `value` - The data value to work out display position for
      Returns:
        display position

    - #### getValueForDisplay

          public T getValueForDisplay​(double displayPosition)

      Gets the data value for the given display position on this axis. If the axis is a CategoryAxis this will be the nearest value.
      Specified by:
        `getValueForDisplay` in class `Axis<T extends Number>`
      Parameters:
        `displayPosition` - A pixel position on this axis
      Returns:
        the nearest data value to the given pixel position or null if not on axis;

    - #### getZeroPosition

          public double getZeroPosition()

      Gets the display position of the zero line along this axis.
      Specified by:
        `getZeroPosition` in class `Axis<T extends Number>`
      Returns:
        display position or Double.NaN if zero is not in current range;

    - #### isValueOnAxis

          public boolean isValueOnAxis​(T value)

      Checks if the given value is plottable on this axis
      Specified by:
        `isValueOnAxis` in class `Axis<T extends Number>`
      Parameters:
        `value` - The value to check if its on axis
      Returns:
        true if the given value is plottable on this axis

    - #### toNumericValue

          public double toNumericValue​(T value)

      All axis values must be representable by some numeric value. This gets the numeric value for a given data value.
      Specified by:
        `toNumericValue` in class `Axis<T extends Number>`
      Parameters:
        `value` - The data value to convert
      Returns:
        Numeric value for the given data value

    - #### toRealValue

          public T toRealValue​(double value)

      All axis values must be representable by some numeric value. This gets the data value for a given numeric value.
      Specified by:
        `toRealValue` in class `Axis<T extends Number>`
      Parameters:
        `value` - The numeric value to convert
      Returns:
        Data value for given numeric value

    - #### getClassCssMetaData

          public static List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,​?>> getClassCssMetaData()

      Returns:
        The CssMetaData associated with this class, which may include the CssMetaData of its superclasses.
      Since:
        JavaFX 8.0

    - #### getCssMetaData

          public List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,​?>> getCssMetaData()

      This method should delegate to `Node.getClassCssMetaData()` so that a Node's CssMetaData can be accessed without the need for reflection.
      Specified by:
        `getCssMetaData` in interface `Styleable`
      Overrides:
        `getCssMetaData` in class `Axis<T extends Number>`
      Returns:
        The CssMetaData associated with this node, which may include the CssMetaData of its superclasses.
      Since:
        JavaFX 8.0
