Scale

(available in certain charts)

Sets the scale of the axis:

Linear or Logarithmic.

Helpcenter-Properties-Shared-Numerical_Axis-Scale

Constant

(available in certain charts)

For logarithmic scaled axes only.

A true logarithmic scale goes infinite near zero. To avoid this we use a function called symlog which allows to set a range, or constant, around zero where the axis will be linear instead of logarithmic. 

The larger the constant, the closer the axis is to a linear scale. 

When omitted, the constant is equal to the lowest value on the axis.
