Research direction

Start by locating the existing axis types and initialization functions in Plotly.NET, especially Axis.LinearAxis and the StyleParam.CategoryOrder usage mentioned in the issue. Review how optional linear-axis properties are represented, then add initialization templates for the listed axis types with their mandatory properties and verify each template against the existing axis API.

Description

Area: MissingAbstraction Type: Enhancement

There are the following types of linear axes in plotly:

Auto(determines the best fit from below)
Linear
Log
Date
Category
MultiCategory

A few init functions specifically setting mandatory properties for these axis types (e.g. category order for categorical axes) would be very beneficial.

So the functions would look like this:

static member initCategorical
	(
		CategoryOrder: StyleParam.CategoryOrder,
		// all other optional properties of linear axes
	) : Axis.LinearAxis = ...
