Description
The AxisMajorTickLabelOptions() function serves to position and finely adjust the scaling labels. The argument location makes it possible to position the labels either inside the chart (location = in) or outside the chart (location = out) or directly on the axis line (location = center). By using the arguments hOffset and vOffset, the location of the labels can be finely adjusted. Positive offset values move the labels down to the right, negative values up to the left.

Scaling labels can be suppressed by using the arguments labelEveryNthTickMark and startAtTickMark. For example, when the 3rd tick mark, 5th tick mark, 7th tick mark, etc. are to be labeled, the arguments labelEveryNthTickMark and startAtTickMark should be set to 2 and 3, respectively.
