Skewed graphs in 3d graphics industry

True. You get that from bars+axis.

 

Agree.
I did not answer since you were working with wrong premise.
So it would be something silly like 1) no 2) why not - it is not - nothing

 

Yes, it would be ridiculous and ugly. More so since you excluded negative results. But similar reasons led to skewing- having results only in range of 90-120% why not crop it? It is not a big deal to add axis description, you should check for it everytime anyway. You cannot get rid of it with everytime. Do you have to imply discontinuity? I say no, not necessary, this is no exact science or engineering with its standards described in fat books. Just don't forgot they won't teach you everything in school and think for yourself- you will do fine without photoshop.

 

the thing is that with cropping (which I agree, should be applied by default on most statistics.. that's the way I learned it) comes the loss of scale. That scale is the reason everyone talks about skewed graphs, simply because the scale of the original graph is gone.
Even if the axis are clearly labeled graphics are easier (and universal) to imprint the (now un-proportionally) big difference between 20 and 22 f/s.

that's why these graphs should scale properly. i.e. with fixed values for x and y (yes. graphs will become big comparing 200 f/s to 20 f/s) or scaling the graph so that the largest value is 100% and all the other results are scaled proportionally.

 

I still don't see a reason why graphs showed here should be called improperly scaled.
Your proposition would make comparsion between products harder.

 

I admitted under condition of missing description.
Your personal expectation does not set standard for other viewers.

 

You seem to be the only one with a dissenting opinion, it might be more accurate to say its your expectation that does not set a standard for other viewers.

 

hear hear, someone should run a poll and display the results in a non-skewed scale...

c'mon guys.. Putas is just trolling around..

 

With a name like "Putas"? Say it ain't so.

 

geh geh geh...

 

don't blame me for spanish language please

I am sorry for spoiling your trolling on innocent graph.

 

Might be interesting. But mind you one more time- since the graph is not intended for people of the b3d kind, results are irrelevant to our debate.

 

He would then say it's for the marketeers and resellers as an extra tool to sell their product (the one with the much larger bar.)

Why would you buy a Chevy? this Ford performs *so* much better.

 

Almost there. Just don't be so obsessed with evil marketing.
