Generate time scale ticks (`ticks.source: 'auto'`) based on the effective visualized range instead of the actual data range, meaning that the computed units and/or step size may change if the time options min and max are different from the data min and max.
Add a new `offset` option to scales to add extra space at edges and remove the `includeOffset` argument from `getPixelForValue()` and `getPixelForTick()`. The bar controller now automatically calculates the bar width to avoid overlaps. When `offsetGridLines` is true, grid lines move to the left by one half of the tick interval, and labels don't move.
For consistency, enable ESLint `one-var` rule to require multiple variable declarations for initialized variables per scope. Uninitialized variables can still be declared together (preferred) or separately.

The `bounds` option makes more sense directly under `scale` since it defines the scale limits strategy when no explicit min/max are specified. Also change the `bounds: 'labels'` option value for `bounds: 'ticks'` because it really means: "ensure ticks to be fully visible in the scale, whatever the ticks `source`.
Fix `ticks.mode` behavior when `ticks.source` is `auto`: the lookup table is now built from the data and not from the ticks, so data (and ticks) are correctly distributed along the scale. Rename the option to `distribution` (more explicit than `mode`) and since this option applies from now on the data, it seems better to have it under `scale` instead `scale.ticks`.
Internal ticks are now stored as objects in the PRIVATE this._ticks member and must not be accessed directly from outside this class. this.ticks is around for a long time and hasn't been marked as private, so we can't change its structure without unexpected breaking changes. If you need to access the scale ticks, use scale.getTicks() instead.
`ticks.bounds` (`'data'`(default)|`'label'`): `data` preserves the data range while `labels` ensures that all labels are visible. This option is bypassed by the min/max time options.
Remove the useless time scale `_model` object containing private members: instead, make these members private (prefixed by `_`) part of the scale.
Move time helpers back into time scale, remove the `Chart.helpers.time namespace` and attempt to make the auto generation logic a bit simpler. The generate method doesn't anymore enforce min/max, the calling code needs to clamp timestamps if needed.
For time series charts it may make more sense to specify the horizontal axis using the variable `t`. This change will make it much easier to use the time scale with the financial chart, which takes in the data points `{t, o, h, l, c}`.
`ticks.source` (`'auto'`(default)|`'labels'`): `auto` generates "optimal" ticks based on min, max and a few more options (current `time` implementation`). `labels` generates ticks from the user given `data.labels` values (two additional trailing and leading ticks can be added if min and max are provided).
`ticks.mode` (`'linear'`(default)|`series`): `series` displays ticks at the same distance from each other, whatever the time value they represent, while `linear` displays them linearly in time: the distance between each tick represent the amount of time between their time values.
Default options can now be accessed by importing `core/core.defaults`. The returned object acts as a singleton and is populated when importing classes that expose their own default values (meaning that importing only `code.defaults` results in an empty object). Also make `Chart.Ticks` and `Chart.Interaction` importable since existing defaults rely on these values.
Add the `defaults._set` method that make easier declaring new defaults by merging given values with existing ones for a specific scope (`global`, `scale`, `bar`, etc).
Properly export helpers and remove dependencies to `Chart.helpers`. Helpers can now be accessed from `src/helpers/index.js` (`var helpers = require('path/to/helpers/index')`, instead of `var helpers = Chart.helpers`).
For consistency with `valueOrDefault`, `valueAtIndexOrDefault` now returns null if `value` (expected array) is null. Also get rid of the superfluous `get` prefix in `getValueOrDefault` and `getValueAtIndexOrDefault`.
Move some of the "core" and "canvas" utils in `helpers.core.js` and `helpers.canvas.js` and introduce the new `isNullOrUndef` and `isObject` helpers. Deprecate `indexOf` and rename `drawRoundedRectangle` to `roundedRect` which now creates a simple `rect` path if radius is 0. Write missing unit tests for the moved helpers.
Implemented alignment by major unit in the time scale. This allows showing the first tick of a larger unit like days in a special way and is part of the basis of the time series scale.
* Fixed different calculation of scale min and max when dataset contains no values
* Removed trailing spaces
* Added test for correct min/max calculation
* Removed trailing spaces
* Make parseTime private
* start on fixing time scale
* Reimplement existing functionality
* Tidy tests
* Fix labels for non-linearly sized units
Months, quarters and years have non-constant numbers of seconds. A scale that's linear WRT milliseconds produces incorrect tick labels due to the label formatting losing precision (eg year labels lose month and day so a label of 2016-12-32 displays as 2016 instead of 2017).
* Re-implement tick generation
As in v2.5
* Fixed issue, that category scale shows data points misplaced. See #4060
* Cleaned code
* Fixed Irregular whitespace
* Fixed error in case value is undefined
* Verified that no error is thrown in case value === null
Radar chart position is not center horizontally with v2.5.0.
Right and left of `furthestLimits` would be switched wrongly on
this refactoring commit.

* Undo fix for #3585 since it has broken the stacked bar charts when the axis has a user defined minimum value.
* When a value of 0 is requested for a vertical logarithmic axis, return the bottom point
gridLines.circular is a new option that toggles circular lines. This allows radar charts with circular lines #3082
pointLabels.display is a new option that toggles the display of point labels.
The existing angleLines.display is used with the new pointLabels.display setting is used to trigger the radar like settings.
This required changing the default polar area config.
When datasets.data contains a null value, the label displays incorrect
value.
code additions:
- unit tests for truthy label values (when data is null)
- checks to ensure handling of null value in getLabelByIndex method
added mock data sets from issue #3528 example
expect the return value from getLabelForIndex method to be valid (truthy)
added check for null of first data value in getLabelForIndex
fixed indentation and null comparison operator in code
fixed mistake in definition of firstData variable
changed testing for data on index 0 to using index variable
changed firstData to use value instead
condense the statments to use value variable
