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 Axis.DateTimeOptions property is used to define the output format of DateTime values shown on the axis. |
Auto | A scale type is detected automatically based on the type of underlying data. This means that numerical data will be treated as numerical, date-time data as date-time, qualitative as qualitative values. Note that this mode can be applied only for the |
