Now instead of having numbers that are very far apart, we now have values in the same range (7.04 and 4.46) such that they will easily fit in the same scale on a graph. But you don't have to ...

There is disagreement on the proper way to label logarithmic scales in charts and graphs, especially when the base is not 10. This post shows several alternative ways of labeling log scales ...

Logarithmic Price Scale vs. Linear Price Scale: An Overview . The interpretation of a stock chart can vary among different traders depending on the type of price scale used when viewing the data.

The data look very different when plotted on what is called a logarithmic scale. In a typical graph, values on the (vertical) y-axis are plotted linearly: 1, 2, 3, and so on, or 10, 20, 30, or the ...

The PROC PLOT step shows two plots of the same data -- one plot without a horizontal axis specification and one plot with a logarithmic scale specified for the horizontal axis. Program: options nodate ...

Graphs that are not drawn to scale mislead the reader. This post shows another example of a graph where the visual representation of the numbers is not proportional to the numbers themselves.

To compensate, we can present the same data on a logarithmic (or log) scale. This means the graph’s vertical axis (y-axis) is graduated by orders of magnitude (1, 10, 100, 1,000) rather than in ...

But sharp-eyed observers will note that the chart is in log scale, not linear scale. In a regular linear scale graph -- the type of scale everyone is used to seeing on a daily basis in everything ...

Logarithmic price scales tend to show less severe price increases or decreases than linear price scales. For example, if an asset price has collapsed from $100.00 to $10.00, the distance between ...
