Scale Breaks

A scale break is an area across an axis which is shown in place of a section of the axis’ range. It appears along the original axis as a ragged (or wavy or straight, depending on the desired appearance) line.

You can add multiple scale breaks to an axis of any scale type, whether or not this axis uses a logarithmic scale.

With the ASP.NET Chart Control, you have the capability to use either automatic or manual scale breaks, or both. Refer to the corresponding sections of the following topic for details: Scale Breaks.
