Description

Following from #6334 it should be relatively straightforward to extend the autoshift and shift parameters to support x axes (in addition to current implementation for y axes).

For the most part, the changes in #6334 should work for x axes as well. Adjustments would include:

  • Removing and generalizing direct references to y (eg. if letter==='y')
  • Reverting this commit
  • Mirroring this change for X axis lines
  • Extending mocks and tests

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #6334, its referenced commit, and the linked file change for axis lines. Generalize the existing y-axis handling to x axes, extend the mocks and tests, and confirm that autoshift and shift work for both axis directions.
