You can change the chart display by showing axis or gridlines with different measurements. An axis is a line bordering the chart plot area used as a reference for measurement. Chart axes are typically x (vertical or value), y (horizontal or category), and z (only for 3-D charts). If axis titles or scales are too long and unreadable, you might want to change the angle to make titles fit better in a small space, or change the interval between tick marks and axis labels to display with a better scale. Tick marks are small lines of measurement similar to divisions on a ruler on an axis. Gridlines are horizontal and vertical lines you can add to help the reader determine data point values in a chart. There are two types of gridlines: major and minor. Major gridlines occur at each value on an axis, while minor gridlines occur between values on an axis. Use gridlines sparingly and only when they improve the readability of a chart.
