Axis Brace

axis.braceBlock elementGraph

Names an interval on an axis with a curly brace, drawn in the gutter beside the tick numbers — the way a graph says "this span is σ" rather than marking two endpoints and leaving the subtraction to the reader. The axis is chosen by which interval is given, like axis.label's coordinate.
