    // avoids the usage of DataTemplates, instead we use the same object (UIElement)
    // since UI elements are running the UI thread, it is possible that 
    // when we try to modify a property in a UIElement, i.e. the labels of an axis, 
    // we can't, well we can but we need to use the UI dispatcher.
