Enum: AxisScale
How an axis maps values to distance. Part of what a panel claims, not decoration: a straight line on a log axis is a power law, and the same points on a linear axis are not.

| symlog | None | Logarithmic either side of zero, linear across it, so a quantity that changes… |
| logit | None | For a probability: stretches both ends of [0, 1] so behaviour near 0 and 1 is… |

linear:

description: Equal value, equal distance.
log:
text: log
description: Equal ratio, equal distance. Refuses non-positive data.
symlog:
text: symlog
description: Logarithmic either side of zero, linear across it, so a quantity
that changes sign still spans decades.
logit:
text: logit
description: 'For a probability: stretches both ends of [0, 1] so behaviour near
0 and 1 is visible.'
