## Class Axis<T>

- java.lang.Object
- - javafx.scene.Node
  - - javafx.scene.Parent
    - - javafx.scene.layout.Region
      - - javafx.scene.chart.Axis<T>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Styleable`, `EventTarget`
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    `CategoryAxis`, `ValueAxis`

      public abstract class Axis<T>
      extends Region

  Base class for all axes in JavaFX that represents an axis drawn on a chart area. It holds properties for axis auto ranging, ticks and labels along the axis.

  Some examples of concrete subclasses include `NumberAxis` whose axis plots data in numbers and `CategoryAxis` whose values / ticks represent string categories along its axis.

  Since:
    JavaFX 2.0

      See if the current range is valid, if it is not then any range dependent calulcations need to redone on the next layout pass
      Returns:
        true if current range calculations are valid

    - #### requestLayout

          public void requestLayout()

      We suppress requestLayout() calls here by doing nothing as we don't want changes to our children to cause layout. If you really need to request layout then call requestAxisLayout().
      Overrides:
        `requestLayout` in class `Parent`

    - #### requestAxisLayout

          public void requestAxisLayout()

      Request that the axis is laid out in the next layout pass. This replaces requestLayout() as it has been overridden to do nothing so that changes to children's bounds etc do not cause a layout. This was done as a optimization as the Axis knows the exact minimal set of changes that really need layout to be updated. So we only want to request layout then, not on any child change.

    - #### invalidateRange

          public void invalidateRange​(List<T> data)

      Called when data has changed and the range may not be valid any more. 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.
      Parameters:
        `data` - The current set of all data that needs to be plotted on this axis

    - #### autoRange

          protected abstract Object autoRange​(double length)

      This calculates the upper and lower bound based on the data provided to invalidateRange() method. This must not effect the state of the axis, changing any properties of the axis. Any results of the auto-ranging should be returned in the range object. This will we passed to setRange() if it has been decided to adopt this range for this axis.
      Parameters:
        `length` - The length of the axis in screen coordinates
      Returns:
        Range information, this is implementation dependent

    - #### setRange

      Called to set the current axis range to the given range. If isAnimating() is true then this method should animate the range to the new range.
      Parameters:
        `range` - A range object returned from autoRange()
        `animate` - If true animate the change in range

    - #### getRange

    - #### getDisplayPosition

          public abstract double getDisplayPosition​(T value)

      Get 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. If the value is not valid for this Axis and the axis cannot display such value in any range, Double.NaN is returned
      Parameters:
        `value` - The data value to work out display position for
      Returns:
        display position or Double.NaN if value not valid

    - #### getValueForDisplay

          public abstract T getValueForDisplay​(double displayPosition)
