1 Types of scales There are different types of scales that you can use for a graph, depending on the nature of your data. The most common ones are linear, logarithmic, and categorical.

This example uses a DATA step to generate data. 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 ...

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 ...

Click on the graph axis you want to change to a logarithmic scale. Note that by clicking on different parts of the chart, you can select the whole chart, the plot area only, the legend or each axis.

Example of chart for which log scale is necessary Notice that because the span of numbers goes from 10 to 100000, the variation in the last few numbers completely masks the variation in the first few ...

Learn how to select the appropriate scale for your scatter plot, depending on the type and range of your data. Find out how to use linear, logarithmic, power, square root, or custom scales.

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.

Description I'm developing a mixed chart (line chart + area chart) with 2 y-axis labels for data viz purposes and I need to apply a logarithmic scale on the second y-axis. The issue comes when I use ...

This is called the frequency response of the system. It is represented with a Bode plot. For this, the amplitude response and the phase response are determined from the transfer function of the system ...

Understanding Logarithmic Price Scales The distance between the numbers on the logarithmic price scale decreases as the price of the asset increases. After all, a $1.00 increase in price becomes ...
