Logarithmic scale option on country chart

4 posts • viewed 58 times

How hard would it be to add the option to display the country chart using a logarithmic scale? The issue I have is that I have WAY more coins from my home country than from most others by an order of magnitude. This means I have a dark red UK with most of the rest of the map being green or blue. 16 colour graduations are available but only 4 of them are actually used.

To highlight the diference it makes the following two graphs are a much reduced set of my collection shown with both linear and logarithmic scales with the blue being types and the orange being the coins.

Linear Scale

You can see here that almost everything below the UK becomes essentially the same, insignificant value.

Logarithmic Scale (Base 10)

The actual values remain the same, but you can see that the Distribution becomes much smoother when you change to a log scale.

 

This could be implemented with a pair of buttons next to the Coins/Types pair at the bottom so no additional screen real estate is required and making it optional means it has no effect for people who don't want it.

Sorry, almost immediately noticed this has been mentioned before. I thought about it months ago and thought I'd searched for it, just got around to making the post without checking again and immediately found previous posts.

Then you can edit your first post and remove the tick from the box so we don't have a double ticket for the same request.

Maybe also link the other thread for people who are interested in the topic.
