		//		to the majorTickValues content.

		//		with a linear scale. For example, if majorTickValues contains [0, 10, 50, 500, 2000], 
		//		the scale will show five major ticks with these values. 
		//		Note that this is not a logarithmic scale, the interpolation is linear between 
		//		two contiguous major ticks.
