Axes are an integral part of a chart. 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 know as ['cartesian axes'](./cartesian/README.md#cartesian-axes).
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 ['radial axes'](./radial/README.md#radial-axes).
| `display` | <code>boolean|string</code> | `true` | Controls the axis global visibility (visible when `true`, hidden when `false`). When `display: 'auto'`, the axis is visible only if at least one associated dataset is visible.
| `callbacks` | `object` | | Callback functions to hook into the axis lifecycle. [more...](#callbacks)
| `weight` | `number` | `0` | The weight used to sort the axis. Higher weights are further away from the chart area.
The default configuration for a scale can be easily changed using the scale service. All you need to do is to pass in a partial configuration that will be merged with the current scale default configuration to form the new default.
For example, to set the minimum value of 0 for all linear scales, you would do the following. Any linear scales created after this time would now have a minimum of 0.
