Name of built-in transformation ("identity", "log10", "log2", "symlog", "reverse", "sqrt").
Format patterns in the format parameter can be just a number format (like "d") or a string template where number format is surrounded by curly braces: "{d} cylinders". Note: the "$" must be escaped as "\$". For more info see: formats.html

".2f" -> "12.45";
"Score: {.2f}" -> "Score: 12.45";

The type of the scale: ("identity", "color_gradient", "color_gradient2", "color_gradientn", "color_hue", "color_grey", "color_brewer", "color_cmap", "size_area"). If null (the default) and the scale is color, then "color_gradient" will be used.
