Once you have created your scale class, you need to register it with the global chart object so that it can be used. A default config for the scale may be provided when registering the constructor. The first parameter to the register function is a string key that is used later to identify which scale type to use for a chart.
// Transform the ticks array of the scale instance into strings. The default implementation simply calls this.options.ticks.callback(numericalTick, index, ticks);
convertTicksToLabels: function() {},
// Determine how much the labels will rotate by. The default implementation will only rotate labels if the scale is horizontal.
calculateTickRotation: function() {},
// Fits the scale into the canvas.
// this.maxWidth and this.maxHeight will tell you the maximum dimensions the scale instance can be. Scales should endeavour to be as efficient as possible with canvas space.
// this.margins is the amount of space you have on either side of your scale that you may expand in to. This is used already for calculating the best label rotation
// You must set this.minSize to be the size of your scale. It must be an object containing 2 properties: width and height.
// You must set this.width to be the width and this.height to be the height of the scale
fit: function() {},
// Draws the scale onto the canvas. this.(left|right|top|bottom) will have been populated to tell you the area on the canvas to draw in
// @param chartArea : an object containing four properties: left, right, top, bottom. This is the rectangle that lines, bars, etc will be drawn in. It may be used, for example, to draw grid lines.
