That’s an odd graph it would seem to indicate that travel was 1/10 of previous years which I don’t think is the case. Is every triangle volumetric or just length based?

Thanks.

The radial points are linear, but they're stacked on top of each other. The sector area isn't meaningful (which I think holds true for the whole chart).

I was just responding to ButterflyEffect's summons and stumbled across this chart abomination (in Calc).

It’s a good chart if you want to exaggerate the magnitude of change. Would be a good candidate for a Mainstream media story
