CURVES. The plotting on rate-of-change charts requires considerable care because of the peculiar character of the logarithmic spacing. Where special grids are prepared without intermediate rulings, it is desirable to use a logarithmic plotting scale which may easily be made from printed commercial paper of the proper dimensions.
In general, rate-of-change charts call for simple lines connecting the points of value. Columns or surfaces, of course, should not be used to indicate values on a rate-of-change chart. Columns and surfaces may be used on an arithmetic chart to indicate changes in ratios, however.
