Review axes styles

alicefeng opened this issue · comments

Some specific issues:

  • Where do units go
  • How should the x-axis be styled if the y-axis contains negative values
  • For time axes, where should tick marks go? Should there be a max number of ticks so the axis doesn't become overcrowded?
    • Current thought is that there should be a tick mark for each observation of data. If not every tick can be labeled, the labeled ticks should have longer tick lines

Also see #13 for questions about gridlines

Also tagging @amfeldman to this issue since I can't properly assign it to her for some reason
