If you're talking about a graph then here's your answer... There are to axis's the x axis (horizontal) and the y axis (vertical). So your talking about the vertical scale so since a graph is shaped like an L the vertical part would contain the scale (numbers along the side) so that you can read a bar graph easier
a scale with diffrent numbers
Most graphs use two scales: a horizontal scale and a vertical scale. What is on the scales depends on what the graph is to be used for. For example: the vertical scale could show distance travelled, while the horizontal scale could show the time.
It is zero at the origin, positive above and negative below. Otherwise it can be numbered to any scale.
What is the scale vertical axis
The scale of a vertical bar graph is written on the vertical axis.
The vertical axis!
by making the graph have an important missing part...(hope it helps!)
Time (horizontal scale) versus Amplitude (vertical scale).

Yes, changing the vertical scale will affect how the graph looks. To see examples, go to one of the financial web sites on Google or Yahoo and pick a few stock charts. If you are looking at an intraday chart (activity that happened during one day), the price may vary a dollar or so, but may look to jump all over the place. This is because the scale may be set to start at $50 per share (minimum value of the vertical scale) up to $55 maximum. Change the scale from zero to $60 and you will see a graph that looks more like a smooth line (the changes won't look as dramatic or steep). Another way to change the scale is to use a logarithmic scale (where each step represents 10 times the previous step). This is useful in graphs that represent exponential growth or decay. On a standard scale, the graph could look like a sharp increase, then leveling off. On a logarithmic scale, the same data plotted may look more like a straight line.

no
a scale with diffrent numbers
The x axis is the horizontal axis. The y axis is the vertical axis.
