Axis (JavaFX 2.2)

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

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.

    true if current range calculations are valid
  - invalidateRange
```

  - 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(java.util.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 java.lang.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
```
protected abstract void setRange(java.lang.Object range,
            boolean animate)
```
    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.

  - getRange
```
protected abstract java.lang.Object getRange()
```
    Called to get the current axis range.
    
    Returns:
    A range object that can be passed to setRange() and calculateTickValues()

    the nearest data value to the given pixel position or null if not on axis;

    Checks if the given value is plottable on this axis
    
    Parameters:
    value - The value to check if its on axis
    
    Returns:
    true if the given value is plottable on this axis
  - toNumericValue
```
public abstract double toNumericValue(T value)
```
    All axis values must be representable by some numeric value. This gets the numeric value for a given data value.
    
    Parameters:
    value - The data value to convert
    
    Returns:
    Numeric value for the given data value
  - toRealValue
```
public abstract T toRealValue(double value)
```
    All axis values must be representable by some numeric value. This gets the data value for a given numeric value.
    
    Parameters:
    value - The numeric value to convert
    
    Returns:
    Data value for given numeric value
  - calculateTickValues
```
protected abstract java.util.List<T> calculateTickValues(double length,
                                    java.lang.Object range)
```
    Calculate a list of all the data values for each tick mark in range
    
    Parameters:
    length - The length of the axis in display units
    range - A range object returned from autoRange()
    
    Returns:
    A list of tick marks that fit along the axis if it was the given length
  - computePrefHeight
```
protected double computePrefHeight(double width)
```
    Computes the preferred height of this axis for the given width. If axis orientation is horizontal, it takes into account the tick mark length, tick label gap and label height.
    
    Overrides:
    
    computePrefHeight in class Region
    
    Parameters:
    width - the width that should be used if preferred height depends on it
    
    Returns:
    the computed preferred width for this axis
  - computePrefWidth
```
protected double computePrefWidth(double height)
```
    Computes the preferred width of this axis for the given height. If axis orientation is vertical, it takes into account the tick mark length, tick label gap and label height.
    
    Overrides:
    
    computePrefWidth in class Region
    
    Parameters:
    height - the height that should be used if preferred width depends on it
    
    Returns:
    the computed preferred width for this axis
  - tickMarksUpdated
```
protected void tickMarksUpdated()
```
    Called during layout if the tickmarks have been updated, allowing subclasses to do anything they need to in reaction.
  - layoutChildren
```
protected void layoutChildren()
```
    Invoked during the layout pass to layout this axis and all its content.
    
    Overrides:
    
    layoutChildren in class Parent
  - getTickMarkLabel
```
protected abstract java.lang.String getTickMarkLabel(T value)
```
    Get the string label name for a tick mark with the given value
    
    Parameters:
    value - The value to format into a tick label string
    
    Returns:
    A formatted string for the given value
  - measureTickMarkLabelSize
```
protected final Dimension2D measureTickMarkLabelSize(java.lang.String labelText,
                                   double rotation)
```
    Measure the size of the label for given tick mark value. This uses the font that is set for the tick marks
    
    Parameters:
    labelText - tick mark label text
    rotation - The text rotation
    
    Returns:
    size of tick mark label for given value
  - measureTickMarkSize
```
protected final Dimension2D measureTickMarkSize(T value,
                              double rotation)
```
    Measure the size of the label for given tick mark value. This uses the font that is set for the tick marks
    
    Parameters:
    value - tick mark value
    rotation - The text rotation
    
    Returns:
    size of tick mark label for given value
  - measureTickMarkSize
```
protected Dimension2D measureTickMarkSize(T value,
                              java.lang.Object range)
```
    Measure the size of the label for given tick mark value. This uses the font that is set for the tick marks
    
    Parameters:
    value - tick mark value
    range - range to use during calculations
    
    Returns:
    size of tick mark label for given value
