Abstract. The time variable is most commonly plotted precisely as recorded in
graphs showing change over time. However, if the most interesting part of the
graph is very crowded, then transforming the time axis to give that part more
space is worth consideration. In this column, I discuss logarithmic scales, square
root scales, and scale breaks as possible solutions.
