   This one is really ugly.  I think the bool redundant.  We should have a 
"none" argument instead.  I don't like the string types though.  At least, I 
don't like "Y/M/D_H:M:S" nor do I like "QT_*" and "KDE_*".  What do we really 
_want_ here?  Let's make a good interface on the script side and change Kst 
later.  Also maybe we should use an enumeration like in Line.

  These ones are slightly confusing to me.

   This is very inconsistent so I left it out.  You can query and set the grid 
colors, but can't set default.  I expect this will change in Kst2DPlot 
eventually so I would hate to bind it at this point.

   I guess we want these to be slots:

void scaleAuto([bool spikeInsensitive = false])
void scaleAC() <-- need a better name.  suggestions?
void scaleByExpression(string minExpression, string maxExpression)
string minimumScaleExpression (read-only)
string maximumScaleExpression (read-only)

   The last question is, does "string scaleMode  (read-only)" make sense in 
terms of using it from the script side besides for display purposes?  Or 
should we use an enumeration?  See 
http://kst.kde.org/kstscript/docs/Line.html for an example.
