# Linear Cartesian Axis
The linear scale is use to chart numerical data. It can be placed on either the x or y axis. The scatter chart type automatically configures a line chart to use one of these scales for the x axis. As the name suggests, linear interpolation is used to determine where a value lies on the axis.
## Tick Configuration Options
The following options are provided by the linear scale. They are all located in the `ticks` sub options. These options extend the [common tick configuration](README.md#tick-configuration).
| Name | Type | Default | Description
| ---- | ---- | ------- | -----------
| `beginAtZero` | `boolean` | | if true, scale will include 0 if it is not already included.
| `min` | `number` | | User defined minimum number for the scale, overrides minimum value from data. [more...](#axis-range-settings)
| `max` | `number` | | User defined maximum number for the scale, overrides maximum value from data. [more...](#axis-range-settings)
| `maxTicksLimit` | `number` | `11` | Maximum number of ticks and gridlines to show.
| `precision` | `number` | | if defined and `stepSize` is not specified, the step size will be rounded to this many decimal places.
| `stepSize` | `number` | | User defined fixed step size for the scale. [more...](#step-size)
| `suggestedMax` | `number` | | Adjustment used when calculating the maximum data value. [more...](#axis-range-settings)
| `suggestedMin` | `number` | | Adjustment used when calculating the minimum data value. [more...](#axis-range-settings)
## Axis Range Settings
Given the number of axis range settings, it is important to understand how they all interact with each other.
The `suggestedMax` and `suggestedMin` settings only change the data values that are used to scale the axis. These are useful for extending the range of the axis while maintaining the auto fit behaviour.
```javascript
let minDataValue = Math.min(mostNegativeValue, options.ticks.suggestedMin);
let maxDataValue = Math.max(mostPositiveValue, options.ticks.suggestedMax);
```
In this example, the largest positive value is 50, but the data maximum is expanded out to 100. However, because the lowest data value is below the `suggestedMin` setting, it is ignored.
```javascript
let chart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
datasets: [{
label: 'First dataset',
data: [0, 20, 40, 50]
}],
labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April']
},
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
suggestedMin: 50,
suggestedMax: 100
}
}]
}
}
});
```
In contrast to the `suggested*` settings, the `min` and `max` settings set explicit ends to the axes. When these are set, some data points may not be visible.
## Step Size
If set, the scale ticks will be enumerated by multiple of `stepSize`, having one tick per increment. If not set, the ticks are labeled automatically using the nice numbers algorithm.
This example sets up a chart with a y axis that creates ticks at `0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5`.
```javascript
let options = {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
max: 5,
min: 0,
stepSize: 0.5
}
}]
}
};
```
