They are used to determine how data maps to a pixel value on the chart. In a cartesian chart, there is 1 or more X-axis and 1 or more Y-axis to map points onto the 2-dimensional canvas. These axes are known as <a href="/docs/next/axes/cartesian/">'cartesian axes'</a>.</p> <p>In a radial chart, such as a radar chart or a polar area chart, there is a single axis that maps points in the angular and radial directions. These are known as <a href="/docs/next/axes/radial/">'radial axes'</a>.</p> <p>Scales in Chart.js &gt;v2.0 are significantly more powerful, but also different than those of v1.0.</p> <ul><li>Multiple X &amp; Y axes are supported.</li> <li>A built-in label auto-skip feature detects would-be overlapping ticks and labels and removes every nth label to keep things displaying normally.</li> <li>Scale titles are supported.</li> <li>New scale types can be extended without writing an entirely new chart type.</li></ul> <h2 id="default-scales"><a href="#default-scales" class="header-anchor">#</a> Default scales</h2> <p>The default <code>scaleId</code>'s for carterian charts are <code>'x'</code> and <code>'y'</code>. For radial charts: <code>'r'</code>.
Each dataset is mapped to a scale for each axis (x, y or r) it requires. The scaleId's that a dataset is mapped to, is determined by the <code>xAxisID</code>, <code>yAxisID</code> or <code>rAxisID</code>.
If the ID for an axis is not specified, first scale for that axis is used. If no scale for an axis is found, a new scale is created.</p> <p>Some examples:</p> <p>The following chart will have <code>'x'</code> and <code>'y'</code> scales:</p> <div class="language-js extra-class"><pre class="language-js"><code><span class="token keyword">let</span> chart <span class="token operator">=</span> <span class="token keyword">new</span> <span class="token class-name">Chart</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span>ctx<span class="token punctuation">,</span> <span class="token punctuation">{</span>
