Axes in Chart for WinForms C# Tutorial

Axes represent the collection of Categorical, Data Time, Linear, Logarithmic, Polar, Plot Mode, Radial, and more that are able to plot the data points in all chart area type. In chart design, each Chart area type uses a different set of axes to plot its data points. The Cartesian Area could use the axes including Categorical, Linear, Logarithmic, DateTimeCategorical and DateTimeContinuous to plot data points.
