Axis sections allow you highlight a range on the scale and the chart walls. They also allow you to change the appearance of scale decorations such as ticks, labels and gridlines if they fall in the range highlighted by the section. You can add an arbitrary number of sections to the axis by pressing the "Add" button, below the sections list box. The following settings are available per axis section:
Visiblity
Depending on the axis type the following options are available:
- Cartesian Y Axes
- Show At Back - defines whether the section must appear on the back chart wall.

- Cartesian X Axis
- Show At Back - defines whether the section must appear on the back chart wall.
- Show At Floor - defines whether the section must appear on the floor chart wall. This setting is ignored when the chart is operating in 2D mode.
- Cartesian Depth Axis
- Show At Side - defines whether the section must appear on the side chart wall. This setting is ignored when the chart is operating in 2D mode.
- Show At Floor - defines whether the section must appear on the floor chart wall. This setting is ignored when the chart is operating in 2D mode.
- Polar / Radar Axis
- Show - defines whether the section must appear on the chart polar / radar plot area.
Range
Begin - controls the begin value of the section. You can enter a numeric / date time value, which will be parsed according to the current culture settings.
End - controls the end value of the section. You can enter a numeric / date time value, which will be parsed according to the current culture settings.
You must specify both begin and end value in order for the section to be valid, otherwise it is ignored.
