I have a time series graph and I cannot figure out how to edit the y-axis. I want to make the font bigger and black. How do I edit this?

Hi,

In order to change the y-axis font and colour you will have to define an axis under plots and assign that axis to your series.

Here is an example.

Note: you might need to increase the height of your title to allow for the bigger font.

Hope this helps.

Thank you sir!

I also noticed that I needed to add my series there under plots\>0\>trends\>0\>series where you have “Boiler”. Just for those of you who also have this issue.

Then I just have three style questions as follow-ups?

1. Can I change the y-axis from gray to black?

I promise, I tried to change everything under the axis to black and it is still gray

1. Can I mate up the x-axis to the y-axis?
2. How do I get rid of that leg on the left side of the x-axis?

For the Y axis you can do this.

> This worked for me In axes create an axis. In style of that axis provide the color that you want to use in stroke property(Important) Assign that axis to the trends.

To manipulate the x‑axis you will need to modify the `timeAxis` styles at various levels.  
To remove the left “leg” of the axis, translate the axis **60px in the x‑direction** , and to bring it closer to the y‑axis, translate it **–11px in the y‑direction**.

The end result will be something like this.
