Sharing An Axis

        // and thats it!

        // Advanced alternative:
        // you can also ask an axis its posible dimensions to determine the margin you need.

        // First you need to get a chart from the UI
        // in this sample we use the in-memory chart provided by the library.

        // var cartesianChart = new SKCartesianChart();
        // var axis = cartesianChart.YAxes.First() as Axis;
        // var size = axis.GetPossibleSize(cartesianChart.Core);

        // finally instead of using the static 70px, we can use the actual width of the axis.

        // DrawMargin = new Margin(size.Width, Margin.Auto, Margin.Auto, Margin.Auto);

        // normally you would need measure all the axes involved, and use the greater width to
        // calculate the required margin.
