Comma-separated non-spaced scale range values to aid in the visualization and selection of features. The display values range from 1 to 9, and are listed as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

The display values correspond to the following scale ranges:
1 – 1 - 25,999
2 – 26,000 - 67,999
3 – 68,000 - 150,999
4 – 151,000 - 225,999
5 – 226,000 - 325,999
6 – 326,000 - 425,999
7 – 426,000 - 625,999
8 – 626,000 - 999,999
9 – 1,000,000 or Smaller

Examples:
A feature with display value of 1 should appear in a visualization client or service between scales of 1 and 25,999. It should not appear at scales of 26,000 and smaller.

A feature with display values of 1,2,3 should appear in a visualization client or service between scales of 1 through 150,999. It should not appear at scales of 160,000 and smaller.

A feature with display values of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 should appear in a visualization client or service at all scales.
