Hi Tuan Nguyen,

I'm not sure on the meaning of this chart. It seems that there are several lines sharing the XValues. Then I'm not sure to understand the utility of having a vertical axis for each XValue.
Note that you can add as custom axes as you wish but, the default line chart draws a vertical grid at every bottom axis label.

Hi Yeray,

Thank you very much for your supports. I want to display information for a series which has many attributes (more 2) and each attributes place on each Y-Axis. I think custom axes can't solve it because each series only belong to 1 custom axes.

Hi Tuan Nguyen,

Depending on how you want the info to be shown you have different possibilities:

- You can use colorLines to draw the vertical lines and use annotations to show the information using methods of the series to see when the mouse is over the series.

- You can use as cloned Line series as custom axes you want if you want to use some specific axes' property or method.
