All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public class AxisScale
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
```
Class which defines the scales displayed along the spatial axes of a display. Each ScalarMap that has a DisplayScalar of the X, Y, or Z axis will have a non-null AxisScale.
