Let's consider a code example showing what would be allowed (or not) using different levels of inheritance: 1  class BaseClass {}; void freeStandingFunction(BaseClass* b); class DerivedProtected : protected BaseClass { DerivedProtected() { freeStandingFunction(this); // Allowed } };
Definition of Horizontal Axis. Horizontal means flat or level. Horizontal axis is the x-axis on a graph. The blue number line in the figure below is the x-axis, the horizontal axis.
Major/minor axis: The major axis is the axis along the natural orientation of the chart. For line, area, column, combo, stepped area and candlestick charts, this is the horizontal axis. For a bar chart it is the vertical one. Scatter and pie charts don't have a major axis. The minor axis is the other axis.
