Linear Scale
Component Palette Icon:
The linear scale component has two main purposes. The first is to display a series of tick marks and labels that visually represent a linear range between a minimum value and a maximum value. The second purpose is to display indicators that represent a value or range of values, correctly positioned in on the linear scale. In the example above, two linear scales are used to flank a level indicator. The scale on the left has only tick marks, and no indicators. The scale on the right is used to display three indicators and no tick marks.
To configure the indicators, you use the Linea Scale's "Scale Indicators" customizer. To configure the tick marks, you use the scale's various properties that determine the minimum value, maximum value, and the various tick mark spans.
