The following code snippet demonstrates how to set the options of X and Y axes .

	// Instantiating a Workbook object
	Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

	// Adding a new worksheet to the Workbook object
	int sheetIndex = workbook.getWorksheets().add();

	// Obtaining the reference of the newly added worksheet by passing its sheet index
	Worksheet worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(sheetIndex);

	// Adding sample values to cells
	worksheet.getCells().get("A1").putValue("Series1");
	worksheet.getCells().get("A2").putValue(50);
	worksheet.getCells().get("A3").putValue(100);
	worksheet.getCells().get("A4").putValue(150);
	worksheet.getCells().get("B1").putValue("Series2");
	worksheet.getCells().get("B2").putValue(60);
	worksheet.getCells().get("B3").putValue(32);
	worksheet.getCells().get("B4").putValue(50);

	// Adding a chart to the worksheet
	int chartIndex = worksheet.getCharts().add(ChartType.COLUMN, 5, 0, 15, 5);

	// Accessing the instance of the newly added chart
	Chart chart = worksheet.getCharts().get(chartIndex);
	// Adding SeriesCollection (chart data source) to the chart ranging from "A1" cell to "B3"
	chart.setChartDataRange("A1:B4",true);

	//hiding X axis
	chart.getCategoryAxis().setVisible(false);

	// Setting max value of Y axis.
	chart.getValueAxis().setMaxValue(200);
	// Setting major unit.
