Sure, had the authore chosen a range from, say -100 C to + 100 C the

As it is, the range appears tobe
chosen as any sensible person would, to fit the data on the page
within comfortable margins.

BTW, why'd you change the subject from tic-spacing to range? Perhaps
you DO realize the tic spacing is arbitrary, just like the choice
of origin?


Would the range of the chart on a page be the same with smaller
increments, Fred? I didn't change the subject, you merely found a
way to argue semantics. But, hey, if you want to Chicken Little it,
feel free. Gotcher tinfoil headgear?

If instead, their criticism is that the tic spacing on a graph
is too close, well, that conclusion is left as an exercise for
the reader.


One of many criticisms. EOF, bubba.
