Determine which Axis exists in the Chart

Sometimes, the user needs to know if a particular axis exists in the chart. For example, he wants to know if a secondary value axis exists inside the chart or not. Some charts like Pie, PieExploded, PiePie, PieBar, Pie3D, Pie3DExploded, Doughnut, DoughnutExploded, etc. do not have an axis.

Aspose.Cells provides the Chart.hasAxis(int axisType, boolean isPrimary) method to determine if the chart has a particular axis or not.

Determine which Axis exists in the Chart

The following screenshot shows a chart that has only the primary category and value axis. It does not have any secondary category or value axis.

The following sample code demonstrates the use of Chart.hasAxis(int axisType, boolean isPrimary) to determine if the sample chart has primary and secondary category and value axes. The console output of the code is shown below, which displays true for the primary category and value axes and false for the secondary category and value axes.
