Showing or hiding an axis
CDP Data Visualization enables you to show or hide an axis. By default, all visuals display horizontal and vertical axes when they have directionality.
A visual may have a Dimension Axis and Measure Axis, or an X Axis and Y Axis.
To hide an axis, navigate to the Axes menu, and de-select the appropriate options.
