Property Value

Type	Description
ScaleType	A value that identifies a scale type.

Available values:

Name	Description
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.
Numerical	Identifies the Numerical data scale. This means that data is treated as numerical values, shown on the axis as numbers (e.g., 100, 200, and 300).
DateTime	Identifies the DateTime data scale. This means that data is treated as DateTime values, and shown on the axis as DateTime values (e.g., January, 2003, January, 2004, and January, 2005).
Qualitative	Identifies the Qualitative data scale. This means that data values are treated as qualitative, and shown on the axis as textual representations (for example, A, B, and C). This scale type can only be used for arguments.
