minus-squaredavel [he/him]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up56·1 year agoEveryone knows data is not beautiful when you visualize scalars using area instead of length.
minus-squaremagic_lobster_party@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up21·1 year agoI’m pretty sure it’s by volume, which is even worse
minus-squarebort@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·1 year agoI like it. you can visualize sizes with 3 orders of magnitude between them without one being microscopic. What makes this graph shitty, is that the spheres don’t look very 3D.
minus-squareOtakat@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoI respectfully disagree. If you want to compare orders of magnitude, you should use a logarithmic scale.
minus-squaredavel [he/him]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoYeah these are long-ago settled, 101-level, wikipedia-level data visualization principles.
minus-squarejeffhykin@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWait like 3D volume? 😬 I was looking at it completely wrong
