Description

This is coming from me, as I've always found the options using placeholders confusing.
Right now, for the majority of options, we are using placeholders ( for e.g. for the Minor Grid Lines it's 0 ), and I think that can create confusion. I have the feeling that's the current value for that field. I think we should either have that as a default value or not have it at all, as it doesn't help, from my point of view.

Research direction

Start with the original issue referenced at https://github.com/Codeinwp/visualizer/issues/418, then inspect how chart option fields currently present placeholders. Decide whether the affected options should expose defaults or omit placeholders, and consider the work done when the confusing placeholder behavior is handled consistently across the relevant options.
