Hi Steve,

Assuming it's a horizontalLineChart, use:
    chart.categoryAxis.joinAxisMode = 'bottom'

Some charts have two value axes so the 'categoryAxis' will be called 
something else, but each axis has a joinAxisMode.


If you want to do anything more fancy here are all the ways you can join 
axes.  Allowed values are: 'bottom'; 'top'; 'value' or 'points'

If you set it to 'value', then 'joinAxisPos' attribute will specify a 
y-value in real world units (e.g. pounds, growth rates or whatever).
If you set it to 'points' then 'joinAxisPos' can be used to specify that 
  it joins e.g. [50] points above the bottom of the chart bounding box.

Hope this helps,
