 *  \brief Class which represents an axis of a cartesian chart.
 *
 * A cartesian chart has two or three axes: an X axis (\link
 * Chart::XAxis XAxis\endlink), a Y axis (\link Chart::YAxis
 * YAxis\endlink) and optionally a second Y axis (\link Chart::Y2Axis
 * Y2Axis\endlink). Each of the up to three axes in a cartesian
 * chart has a unique id() that identifies which of these three axes
 * it is in the enclosing chart().
 *
 * Use setVisible() to change the visibility of an axis,
 * setGridLinesEnabled() to show grid lines for an axis. The pen
 * styles for rendering the axis or grid lines may be changed using
 * setPen() and setGridLinesPen(). A margin between the axis and the
 * main plot area may be configured using setMargin().
 *
 * By default, the axis will automatically adjust its range so that
 * all data will be visible. You may manually specify a range using
 * setMinimum(), setMaximum or setRange(). The interval between labels
 * is by default automatically adjusted depending on the axis length
 * and the range, but may be manually specified using
 * setLabelInterval().
 *
 * The axis has support for being "broken", to support displaying data
 * with a few outliers which would otherwise swamp the chart. This is
 * not done automatically, but instead you need to use setBreak() to
 * specify the value range that needs to be omitted from the axis. The
 * omission is rendered in the axis and in bars that cross the break.
 *
 * The labels are shown using a "%.4g" format string for numbers, and
 * a suitable format for \link Chart::DateScale DateScale\endlink or
 * \link Chart::DateTimeScale DateTimeScale\endlink scales, based on
 * heuristics. The format may be customized using
 * setLabelFormat(). The angle of the label text may be changed using
 * setLabelAngle(). By default, all labels are printed horizontally.
