      GranularitySequence specifies the values, that may be applied,
      to determine a step width within a given data range.
 
      \note Granularity with can be set for Linear axis calculation mode only,
      there is no way to specify a step width for Logarithmic axes.
 
      Value occurring in the GranularitySequence names only are showing
      their respective relation ship.  For real data they will most times not
      be used directly, but be multiplied by positive (or negative, resp.)
      powers of ten.
 
      A granularity sequence is a sequence of values from the following set:
      1, 1.25, 2, 2.5, 5.
 
      The reason for using one of the following three pre-defined granularity
      sequences (instead of just using the best matching step width) is to
      follow a simple rule: If scaling becomes finer (== smaller step width)
      no value, that has been on a grid line before, shall loose its line
      and be NOT on a grid line anymore!
 
      This means: Smaller step width may not remove any grid lines, but it
      may add additional lines in between.
 
      \li \c GranularitySequence_10_20 Step widths can be 1, or 2, but they never can be 2.5 nor 5, nor 1.25.
      \li \c GranularitySequence_10_50 Step widths can be 1, or 5, but they never can be 2, nor 2.5, nor 1.25.
      \li \c GranularitySequence_25_50 Step widths can be 2.5, or 5, but they never can be 1, nor 2, nor 1.25.
      \li \c GranularitySequence_125_25 Step widths can be 1.25 or 2.5 but they never can be 1, nor 2, nor 5.
      \li \c GranularitySequenceIrregular Step widths can be all of these values: 1, or 1.25, or 2, or 2.5, or 5.
 
      \note When ever possible, try to avoid using GranularitySequenceIrregular!
      Allowing all possible step values, using this granularity sequence involves a
      serious risk: Your users might be irritated due to 'jumping' grid lines, when step size
      is changed from 2.5 to 2 (or vice versa, resp.).
      In case you still want to use GranularitySequenceIrregular just make sure to NOT draw
      any sub-grid lines, because in most cases you will get not-matching step widths for
      the sub-grid.
      In short: GranularitySequenceIrregular can safely be used if your data range is not
      changing at all AND (b) you will not allow the coordinate plane to be zoomed
      AND (c) you are not displaying any sub-grid lines.
 
      Since you probably like having the value 1 as an allowed step width,
      the granularity sequence decision boils down to a boolean question:
      \li To get ten divided by five you use GranularitySequence_10_20, while
      \li for having it divided by two GranularitySequence_10_50 is your choice.
