All of the charts should use the same time scale. It's confusing and misleading to use different scales for each.
The argument for doing it is likely because that's all the good data we have for each, but it would still be better to scale them the same way.
- egwor 7y agoHow do you mean? They're different units and it is well documented (titles/legends, etc.) which should avoid confusion
- driverdan 7y agoIf they're the same time scale you can easily compare what has changed over time. With different scales it's hard to match them up.
- has2k1 7y agoThe graphs are independent and you can easily read each. What kind of comparisons do you want amongst them? Other than the 2 of them, the y axes of the graphs have different units.
- CuriousSkeptic 7y agoOn a phone they stack up vertically, in that setting it’s quite natural to want to have the time axis aligned too. It makes correlations stand out more.
