**Inheritance:**
java.lang.Object
```
public class AxisScaleType
```

Specifies the possible scale types for an axis.

 **Examples:** 

Shows how to apply logarithmic scaling to a chart axis.

```

 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 Shape chartShape = builder.insertChart(ChartType.SCATTER, 450.0, 300.0);
 Chart chart = chartShape.getChart();

 // Clear the chart's demo data series to start with a clean chart.
 chart.getSeries().clear();

 // Insert a series with X/Y coordinates for five points.
 chart.getSeries().add("Series 1",
         new double[]{1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0},
         new double[]{1.0, 20.0, 400.0, 8000.0, 160000.0});

 // The scaling of the X-axis is linear by default,
 // displaying evenly incrementing values that cover our X-value range (0, 1, 2, 3...).
 // A linear axis is not ideal for our Y-values
 // since the points with the smaller Y-values will be harder to read.
 // A logarithmic scaling with a base of 20 (1, 20, 400, 8000...)
 // will spread the plotted points, allowing us to read their values on the chart more easily.
 chart.getAxisY().getScaling().setType(AxisScaleType.LOGARITHMIC);
 chart.getAxisY().getScaling().setLogBase(20.0);
