Axis (JavaFX 8)

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

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.

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
```
protected abstract void setRange(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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    range - A range object returned from autoRange()
    
    animate - If true animate the change in range
  - getRange
```
protected abstract Object getRange()
```
    Called to get the current axis range.
    
    Returns:
    
    A range object that can be passed to setRange() and calculateTickValues()
  - getZeroPosition
```
public abstract double getZeroPosition()
```
    Get the display position of the zero line along this axis.
    
    Returns:
    
    display position or Double.NaN if zero is not in current range;
  - 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)
```
    Get the data value for the given display position on this axis. If the axis is a CategoryAxis this will be the nearest value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    displayPosition - A pixel position on this axis
    
    Returns:
    
    the nearest data value to the given pixel position or null if not on axis;
  - isValueOnAxis
```
public abstract boolean isValueOnAxis(T value)
```
    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:

  - computePrefHeight
```
protected double computePrefHeight(double width)
