To known about axis customization, you can check on this video:

Axis Crossing

An axis can be positioned in the chart area using crossesAt and crossesInAxis properties. The crossesAt property specifies the values (datetime, numeric, or logarithmic) at which the axis line has to be intersected with the vertical axis or vice-versa, and the crossesInAxis property specifies the axis name with which the axis line has to be crossed.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { categoryData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           crossesAt : 15
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
          crossesAt : 5
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Title

You can add a title to the axis using title property to provide quick information to the user about the data plotted in the axis.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { categoryData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           title: 'Countries'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           minimum: 0, maximum: 80,
           interval: 20, title: 'Medals',
           labelFormat: '${value}K',
           titleStyle: {
            size: '16px', color: 'grey',
            fontFamily : 'Segoe UI', fontWeight : 'bold'
           }
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Title Rotation

By using the titleRotation property, you can rotate the axis title from 0 to 360 degree.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { categoryData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           title: 'Countries'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           minimum: 0, maximum: 80,
           interval: 20, title: 'Medals',
           labelFormat: '${value}K',
           titleStyle: {
            size: '16px', color: 'grey',
            fontFamily : 'Segoe UI', fontWeight : 'bold'
           }
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Tick Lines Customization

You can customize the  width, color and size of the minor and major tick lines, using majorTickLines and minorTickLines properties in the axis.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { tickData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='x' yName='y' name='Sales'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = tickData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'Category',
            majorTickLines : {
               color : 'blue',
               width : 5
            },
            minorTickLines : {
               color : 'red',
               width : 0
            }
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           title: 'Temperature (Fahrenheit)',
           majorTickLines : {
              color : 'blue',
              width : 5
           },
           minorTickLines : {
              color : 'red',
              width : 0
           }
        };
        this.title = 'Temperature flow over months';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Grid Lines Customization

You can customize the width, color and dashArray of the minor and major grid lines, using majorGridLines and minorGridLines properties in the axis.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { tickData } from './datasource';

@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='x' yName='y' name='Sales'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = tickData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'Category',
            majorGridLines : {
               color : 'blue',
               width : 1
            },
            minorGridLines : {
               color : 'red',
               width : 0
            }
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           title: 'Temperature (Fahrenheit)',
           majorGridLines : {
              color : 'blue',
              width : 1
           },
           minorGridLines : {
              color : 'red',
              width : 0
           }
        };
        this.title = 'Temperature flow over months';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Multiple Axis

In addition to primary X and Y axis, we can add n number of axis to the chart. Series can be associated with this axis, by mapping with axis’s unique name.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { multipleData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-axes>
            <e-axis rowIndex=0 name='yAxis1' opposedPosition='true' title='Temperature (Celsius)' [majorGridLines]='majorGridLines' labelFormat='{value}°C'
                   [minimum]='24' [maximum]='36' [interval]='2' [lineStyle]='lineStyle'>
            </e-axis>
        </e-axes>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='x' yName='y' name='Germany'></e-series>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Line' xName='x' yName='y1' yAxisName='yAxis1' name='Japan' [marker]='marker'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public marker?: Object;
    primaryYAxis: any;
    lineStyle: any;
    majorGridLines: any;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = multipleData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'Category'
        };
        this.marker = {
            visible: true, width: 10, height: 10, border: { width: 2, color: '#F8AB1D' }
        }
        this.title = 'Weather Condition';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Inversed Axis

When an axis is inversed, highest value of the axis comes closer to origin and vice versa. To place an axis in inversed manner set this property isInversed to true.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { inverseData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [title]='title' [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis' [primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis'
         [legendSettings]='legend'>
            <e-series-collection>
                <e-series [dataSource]='data' type='Column' xName='x' yName='y' name='Years' [marker]='marker'>
                </e-series>
           </e-series-collection>
       </ejs-chart>`
       })

 export class AppComponent {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    public data?: Object[];
    public title?: string
    public legend: any;
    public marker: any;

    ngOnInit(): void {
    this.primaryYAxis = {
        isInversed: true
    };
    this.data= inverseData;
    this.title= 'Exchange Rate';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Opposed Position

To place an axis opposite from its original position, set opposedPosition property of the axis to true.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { tickData } from './datasource';

@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='x' yName='y' name='Sales'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = tickData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'Category'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           title: 'Temperature (Fahrenheit)',
           opposedPosition: true
        };
        this.title = 'Temperature flow over months';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
