/**

  AxisUP };

  The axis type - the kind of the axis (x-, y- or z-axis).

  \li \c AxisTypeEAST axis of abscisses, the so-called \em X-axis.
  In world coordinates this is the EAST axis as used
  on topographical maps.
  This axis normally is assigned to the 1st dimension
  of the represented data, to change this use
  KDChartAxesPainter::setAxisAssignment().

  \li \c AxisTypeNORTH axis of ordinates, the so-called \em Y-axis.
  when are represented by the chart.
  In world coordinates this is the NORTH axis as used
  on topographical maps for 2-dimensional data,
  or the NORTH axis as used on bird's-eys views of
  buildings etc for 3-dimensional data, resp..
  This axis normally is assigned to the 2nd dimension
  of the represented data.

  \li \c AxisTypeUP axis of the 3rd dimension, the so-called \em Z-axis.
  In world coordinates this is the UP axis as used
  on bird's-eys views of buildings etc.
  This axis normally is assigned to the 3rd dimension
  of the represented data.

  The following picture shows the default positions of the
  different axes:

Since the chart area is defined by subtracting the space consumed by
the axes from the printable area there are two options that are
mutually exclusive.

- Define the chart by precisely specifying (in absolute or in
relative numbers) how much space may be used by each axis.
and/or define start and end values for the axes' labels.

-> This produces results that are comparable to each other
since the chart will have an exactly fixed size and its position
on the paper will remain the same even if the labels of its axes
become wider or more narrow.
Also the graphical representation of the date will be comparable
since all your charts will use the same scale if you wish this.

- Let the program calculate the chart tqlayout based upon the kind
of and width of the labels to be drawn at the axes.
Also the program can calculate the labels for you and find the
boundary values for start and end of the scale automatically.
-> This will produce good looking results without you having
to fiddle around with the settings.
Unfortunately these charts will not allways be comparable to
each other if the axes' labels change since both the size of
the area reserved for the chart and the scaling of the
scales will vary if the data values do so.

With KDChart both ways are possible, see hints given with
setAxisAreaMode(), setAxisAreaMin() and setAxisAreaMax().

To optimize your results you might want to use setAxisLineWidth() and
setAxisLabelsFontPointSize(): negative values will specify it
in per thousand  of the printable area size - producing a result
looking fine even if the chart is
printed at very large dimensions.

  KDChart use the same scale for both axes.

  For example to have the left axis using the same scale as the

  \verbatim
  KDChartAxisParams pa(
  _p->axisParams( KDChartAxisParams::AxisPosLeft ) );
  pa.setIsometricReferenceAxis( KDChartAxisParams::AxisPosBottom );

Examples:

\verbatim
setAxisValues();
\endverbatim
This would specify a default ordinate-axis obtaining its values from the
attached dataset. Looks nice but it is difficult to compare it to another
chart representing slightly different min/max values since it neither starts
at zero nor ends at an allways same value.

\verbatim
setAxisValues( true, KDChartData( 0.0 ) );
\endverbatim
This would specify a half-automatical ordinate-axis obtaining its values from
the attached dataset. Looks nice and can be slightly easier compared to
another chart since it allways starts at zero, causing negative values to be
ignored completely.

\verbatim
setAxisValues( true, KDChartData( -2.0 ),
        KDChartData(  7.5 ),
        0.5, 1 );
\endverbatim
This would specify an ordinate-axis \not obtaining its values
from the attached dataset.
<b>Since both the start value and the end value are specified the range
of the dataset values are ignored completely.</b>
It will show one digit behind the comma.
The resulting chart can be perfectly compared to
another chart since it allways starts and ends at the very same level - no
matter what the dataset values are about actually.

\verbatim

adding 0.25 to get the next value, will count until 3.5.
It will show two digits behind the comma.

\verbatim
setAxisValues( false,
        KDChartData( 1964.0 ), KDCHART_AXIS_LABELS_AUTO_LIMIT, 1, 0 );
\endverbatim
This would specify a default abscissa-axis starting with value 1964 and

\endverbatim
This would specify a default abscissa-axis starting with 'Monday' and
counting the days of the week as far as neccessary to represent
all the entries in the associated dataset.
Note this \c LabelsFromDataRowNo indicating that the texts are <b>not</b> to
be taken from a data row and note \c &abscissaNames indicating the
\c TQStringList where to take the texts from instead. (In case the axis area
        is not wide enough to display the strings in their full length their
        counterparts stored in abscissaShortNames will be displayed instead.)
<b>Note also:</b> The strings in those two TQStringList are <b>not</b>
copied into the \c KDChartAxisParams nor into the \c KDChartParams
so please make sure the Lists are alive and valid till the end of
the param objects. Otherwise you will not be able to display the
texts.
<P>

\param axisSteadyValueCalc specifies whether label values shall be calculataed based upon the associated dataset values (normally this is true for ordinate axes) or based upon some string list (as you might expect it for abscissa labels).
\param axisValueStart specifies first label value to be written.
\param axisValueEnd specifies the last label value to be written.
\param axisValueDelta specifies the length of the steps to be taken from one label text to the next one.
\param axisDigitsBehindComma specifies how many digits are to be shown behind the axis label texts comma.
\param axisMaxEmptyInnerSpan specifies the percentage of the y-axis range that may to contain NO data entries, if - and only if - axisValueStart (or axisValueEnd, resp.) is set to KDCHART_AXIS_LABELS_AUTO_LIMIT. To prevent \c setAxisValues from changing the current setting you may specify KDCHART_DONT_CHANGE_EMPTY_INNER_SPAN_NOW here, to deactivate taking into account the inner span entirely just use KDCHART_AXIS_IGNORE_EMPTY_INNER_SPAN.
\param takeLabelsFromDataRow specifies whether the labels texts shall be taken from a special row (reserved for this in each dataset) or not.
\param axisLabelStringList points to a \c TQStringList containing the label texts to be used.
\param axisShortLabelsStringList points to a \c TQStringList containing the label texts to be used in case their full-size counterparts cannot be shown due to limited axis area size.
\param axisValueLeaveOut is used for horizontal (top or bottom) axes only; it specifies whether some of the axis labels are to be skipped if there is not enough room for drawing them all without overlapping - this parameter may be set to KDCHART_AXIS_LABELS_AUTO_LEAVEOUT or to zero or to another positive value.
\param axisValueDeltaScale is used to specify the scaling mode of \c axisValueDelta - either just ValueScaleNumbers of a special time scale indicator.
