means which should get a scale pitch and a label. If you insert e.g. "2", each second
integer value will be indicated.
Sub scale: In addtion to the main scale (Label + long pitch lines) here you can
define a sub-scale which will be displayed as short pitch lines without any labels.

the origin of the pointer.

format of the scale labels; see the description concerning Category 'Text'..
Example: If you insert "%1.1f" the scale values will be indicated by a floating point
