I'll have to do some A-B testing.
The key here is that I've integrated this particular type of graph as part of a larger interactive visualization or UI. Within that larger system, the graph is generated in real-time in direct response to your input about your own behavior.
I put up an interactive demo here: https://benome.ca/Intro/ https://benome.ca/Intro/
So in the intended context, graph's meaning is more clear than it appears at first glance. But in any case, it's easy enough to switch a graph's direction.

- stevehaz 10y agoI can't speak to ECG's, but rather like an animated time series except in the reverse direction. As you say, the norm is right to left, highest priority (now) on the far right, like this: https://square.github.io/cubism/ https://square.github.io/cubism/ It must be an acquired taste, or contextually dependent, because even though I do plenty of metrics visualization which is right-to-left, left-to-right for a high-level view of behavior feels fine to me.
