Chart scale manipulation for axis

Is there a way to change the scale on a chart created from a search so that on a numbered axis, you can make the numbers go up by 0.50 or another decimal (0.10 or 0.25) instead of whole numbers?

Thanks

I have tried the following but the numbers still go from 0 to 5 at a scale of 1 on the Y axis:

<option name="charting.axisY.scale">0.50</option>
<option name="charting.axisY.minimumNumber">0.50</option>
<option name="charting.axisY.maximumNumber">3.50</option></code></pre>

I believe I found the answer:

<param name="charting.chart">column</param>
<!-- Define Min and Max Range of Y axis -->
   <param name="charting.axisY">numeric</param>
   <param name="charting.axisY.minimumNumber">96.00</param>
   <param name="charting.axisY.maximumNumber">100.50</param>
   <param name="charting.axisY.includeZero">true</param>

<!-- Define Unit -->
   <param name="charting.axisLabelsY.integerUnits">false</param>
   <param name="charting.axisLabelsY.majorUnit">0.5</param>
   <param name="charting.axisTitleX.visibility">collapsed</param>
   <param name="charting.chart.nullValueMode">zero</param>
