Chapter Overview

Concept

Cropped axes can make small changes look enormous. Unequal intervals, missing labels and selective dates can quietly push a conclusion even when every plotted number is real.

Example

The dramatic score jump

Scores rising from 78 to 80 look explosive when the y-axis begins at 77. On a 0–100 scale, the same two-point change looks modest. Both plots use the same data; only one shows the scale honestly.
