Scale breaks are supported in all of the cartesian series, except the financial series. Here is a list of the supported series: Area, Bar, Line, Stepline, Scatter, ScatterLine, Bubble, ScatterArea, Range, RangeBar.
To add a scale break, you need to create an object(s) of type AxisScaleBreak and add it to the ScaleBreaks collection of the desired axis.

- Style: Enables you to change the visual style of the scale breaks. Three different styles are available:
- Straight

- Ragged

- BorderColor: Controls the color of the scale break lines.
- Size: Controls the distance between the scale break lines.
