Coating Trial Charts: Keep the Vertical Scale Visible

A truncated or hidden scale can exaggerate a small difference. Readers need enough context to understand the magnitude.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Label axes, units and scale limits. Show the underlying values or a clear data table and explain any deliberate scale choice.

Bars spanning only a narrow range can make a one-unit difference look dramatic even when practical performance is similar.

Decision limits

Do not use presentation choices to imply a stronger result than the measurements support. Prioritize interpretable evidence over dramatic graphics.
