I think it's not just unintuitive but also slightly misleading, because you have to be aware that surface increases exponentially. The grey square, for instance, has 1.4 times the surface of the red one, but the difference looks smaller than that.
- todd8 8y agoGraphics are so often intentionally manipulated to convey the authors intent. I don’t like graphs that show large differences until I realize that the origin of the graph is at say (0,1000) instead of (0,0); this can make a change from 1001 to 1010 seem huge. (One little edit to your comment, I think you meant quadratically instead of exponentially.)
