Exponential scales for all the things

[uber5001]

Sorry to make #4 obsolete... but wouldn't it be simpler if all scales were exponential? We wouldn't need any custom scales. I don't see many reasons to use linear scales. We don't even need a field for this anymore.

The normal function would be: value = (max/min)^percent * min

The inverse scale would be: percent = log_max/min(y/min)

The only case where values would need to be specified is for #36 Continuous Parameters, since there's no min/max. instead, there would need to be a default value (when percent is at 0), and a base.

I suppose we could have a scaleType field that has linear, exponential, and continuous. (I exclude polynomial because I don't think there's ever a reason for that.

Thoughts?

Now that I think about it... we can't only do exponential. What about a gain node, where the value of 0 can be desired?

Maybe we can just let the user choose in the dot's menu?

Sure, sounds better.
