The ’Axis’ interface is located at org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.component The ’AxisImpl’ class is located at org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.component.impl ’ComponentFactory’ is located at org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.component.util Note the color coding used to identify the relationship between the class names, the package names and the method names. Now, the new ’Axis’ instance created using this method has not been initialized. Default initialization of mem
