This piece of legislation has had a long and turbulent history from its enactment up to the present date, and it has produced both impressive effects and troubling problems. I hope to […]

The two graphs above, Version 1 and Version 2, both show identical information correctly. However, as is visually evident, the shape of the data is quite different in each of the graphs. The curve has been distorted by changing the y-axis scale. […]

However, visually, the shape of the data is quite different. Curve manipulation is possible through the variability of the y-axis range. By changing the vertical axis field limits, the graph itself changes. In Version 1 of the data, the y-axis min/max scale has been calibrated to […]
