                <Chart:Axis MajorGrid="True" Position="Bottom" Title="Fruits" MajorTickMarks="Inside"></Chart:Axis>
            </Chart:C1FlexChart.AxisX>
            <Chart:C1FlexChart.AxisY>
                <Chart:Axis Position="Left" MajorUnit="5" Title="Sales in Dollars" MajorGrid="True"/>
            </Chart:C1FlexChart.AxisY>
