 The scatter chart supports all of the same properties as the [line chart](./charts/line.mdx#dataset-properties).
 By default, the scatter chart will override the showLine property of the line chart to `false`.
 
+The index scale is of the type `linear`. This means if you are using the labels array the values have to be numbers or parsable to numbers, the same applies to the object format for the keys.
+
 ## Data Structure
 
 Unlike the line chart where data can be supplied in two different formats, the scatter chart only accepts data in a point format.
