Optionalauto?: booleanWhether the scale type was chosen automatically from the data. This is Excel's "Automatically select based on data" axis type.
The scale's type is always the type currently in effect, so a renderer uses it as it is.
When auto is true, an application that changes the data chooses the type again: a
time scale when the category values are dates, otherwise a band or point scale. When
it's false, the type is fixed, like Excel's "Text axis" and "Date axis" choices.

OptionalmajorTimeUnit?: ChartTimeUnitThe unit of majorUnit. When absent, it's automatic.
OptionalmajorUnit?: numberInterval between major ticks, in majorTimeUnit. When absent, the interval is automatic.
Optionalmax?: numberFixed maximum, as a date serial number. When absent, the maximum is automatic.
Optionalmin?: numberFixed minimum, as a date serial number. When absent, the minimum is automatic.
OptionalminorTimeUnit?: ChartTimeUnitThe unit of minorUnit. When absent, it's automatic.
OptionalminorUnit?: numberInterval between minor ticks, in minorTimeUnit. When absent, the interval is automatic.
Optionalplacement?: "band" | "point"Whether dates are placed in bands (Excel's "Between tick marks") or on points ("On tick
marks"), as with band and point scales.
