Property Value

Type	Description
Nullable<ScaleType>	A ScaleType enumeration value specifying the scale type of the summary function argument.

Available values:

Name	Description
Qualitative	Identifies the Qualitative data scale. This means that data provided for the Series.Points will be treated as qualitative values and will be shown on the axis as textual representations (e.g., A, B, and C).
Numerical	Identifies the Numerical data scale. This means that data provided for the Series.Points will be treated as numerical values and will be shown on the axis as numbers (e.g., 100, 200, and 300). Note that in this case the AxisBase.NumericOptions property is used to define the output format of numerical values shown on the axis.
DateTime	Identifies the DateTime data scale. This means that data provided for the Series.Points will be treated as DateTime values and will be shown on the axis as DateTime values (e.g., January, 2003, January, 2004, and January, 2005). Note that in this case the AxisBase.DateTimeOptions property is used to define the output format of DateTime values shown on the axis.
TimeSpan	Identifies the TimeSpan data scale. The data that you provide for the Series.Points will be treated and shown on the axis as TimeSpan values (for example, 00:00:00, 00:00:01, 00:00:02). Note that in this case, the axis’s TimeSpanScaleOptions property allows you to specify the scale-related settings. To define the output format of TimeSpan values shown on the axis, use the AxisBase.Label‘s TextPattern property.
Auto	The scale type is automatically determined according to the real type of underlying data.
