public class DateTimeAxis : TimeSpanAxisBase, IAxis, IAxisCore, IAxisParams, INotifyDataRangeChanged, SciChart.Charting.Visuals.IDrawable, SciChart.Core.Framework.IHitTestable, SciChart.Core.Framework.IInvalidatableElement, SciChart.Core.Framework.ISuspendable

Remarks

All AxisBase derived types have a AxisCore.TextFormatting property to define axis text labels, however a more advanced way of defining axis label text is via the AxisCore.LabelProvider property - expecting a custom SciChart.Charting.Visuals.Axes.LabelProviders.ILabelProvider derived type.

In order to separately format cursor labels please see the AxisCore.CursorTextFormatting or again implement a customer SciChart.Charting.Visuals.Axes.LabelProviders.ILabelProvider.

All axis types have many properties to define how they operate. These include AxisCore.DrawMajorGridLines, AxisCore.DrawMinorGridLines, AxisCore.DrawMajorTicks, AxisCore.DrawMinorTicks, DrawMajorBands, AxisCore.DrawLabels.

Finally, all axis components can be styled. Please see the examples suite, the XAML Styling example to see how to use XAML to style axis elements.
