    The plot that the axis is assigned to (possibly null).
    
    See Also:
    
    setPlot(Plot)
  - setPlot
```
public void setPlot(Plot plot)
```
    Sets a reference to the plot that the axis is assigned to.
    This method is used internally, you shouldn't need to call it yourself.
    
    Parameters:
    
    plot - the plot.
    
    See Also:
    
    getPlot()
  - getFixedDimension
```

```
public void setFixedDimension(double dimension)
```
    Sets the fixed dimension for the axis.
    This is used when combining more than one plot on a chart. In this case, there may be several axes that need to have the same height or width so that they are aligned. This method is used to fix a dimension for the axis (the context determines whether the dimension is horizontal or vertical).
    
    Parameters:
    
    dimension - the fixed dimension.
    
    See Also:
    
    getFixedDimension()

    addChangeListener(AxisChangeListener)
  - hasListener
```
public boolean hasListener(EventListener listener)
