             { country: "Australia", gold: 60 },
             { country: "France", gold: 50 },
             { country: "Germany", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Italy", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Sweden", gold: 30 }
              ],
        primaryXAxis: {
           valueType: 'Category',
           title: 'Countries'
        },
          primaryYAxis:
        {
            minimum: 0, maximum: 80,
            interval: 20, title: 'Medals'
        },
      title: "Olympic Medals"
    };
  },
  provide: {
    chart: [ColumnSeries, Category]
  }
};
</script>
<style>
 #container {
   height: 350px;
 }
</style>

Note: To use category axis, we need to inject Category into the provide and set the valueType of axis to Category.

Labels Placement

By default, category labels are placed between the ticks in an axis, this can also be placed on ticks using labelPlacement property.

Indexed category axis

Category axis also can be rendered based on the index values of data source. This can be achieved by defining the isIndexed property to true in the axis.
