Documentation needs to be more descriptive.

The documentation is, in a great many places, pretty scant. For example:

void NumberAxis::SetLabelCount (size_t labelCount) [inline]
Sets count of labels.
Parameters:
labelCount count of labels

This doesn't really give any indication of what effect this method has on an axis. For example a better description could be:

Sets the number of text labels that are drawn on the axis. The numeric interval between the labels is determined by the range (i.e. Max - Min values) of the axis. For example, if the range is 0 - 100 and SetLabelCount(6) is called, then labels will be drawn at 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100.

See also: SetFixedBounds, IntegerValues, SetTickFormat, SetLabelSkip

Ideally these sort of methods should be a accompanied by a graphic of the resulting chart, or perhaps introduce an "Axis Overview" section.

Specific areas to improve:

1. New event mechanism
2. New dataset, dataseries and datapoint schema
3. New and existing visual presentation options
