Yes, it's always a trade-off of course, but I generally prefer to sqrt() the radial axis of this kind of plot so it is equal-area.
- mcculley 5y agoAuthor here. That is a good idea. I will try that.
- mcculley 5y agoI have regenerated the graphs to use the square root of the count as the radius to keep the area constant, as others have suggested. I appreciate the feedback.
- heisenzombie 5y agoHey, nice one — I’m glad I could give a useful suggestion… Unfortunately it doesn’t make the numbers less tragic.
- bmsleight_ 5y agoCurious how this works, trying to do the maths in my head, but polar integration not my strong subject.
- Gravityloss 5y agoArea of a slice is angle/2 x r^2. Whole circle (angle = 2 x pi) is pi x r^2
