Create a vertical axis

Description

With this method you can create a vertical axis to use with new CFVariable instances. Note that you should set the "positive" attribute after creating the axis to indicate if values are increasing going upwards (positive = "up") or downwards (positive = "down").

Usage

makeVerticalAxis(
  name,
  values,
  bounds = NULL,
  attributes = data.frame(),
  group = NULL
)

Arguments

name	Name of the axis.
values	The coordinate values.
bounds	The bounds of the coordinate values, or NULL if not available.
attributes	data.frame with the attributes of the axis to create. Attributes "actual_range" and "axis" will be set or updated.
group	CFGroup instance where the axis will be located. If NULL (default), a private group will be created for the axis.

Value

A CFAxisVertical instance.
