minus-square@godfilma@dmv.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish95•6 months agoThese type of charts annoy me because they have redundant information. They’re symmetric along the diagonal.
minus-square@ricecake@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink99•6 months agoParticularly when they don’t have to be. These relationships are rarely symmetric.
minus-square@GraniteM@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•6 months agoIs there a better way to present the data with less redundancy?
minus-square@Artyom@lemm.eelinkfedilink16•6 months agoTypically you’d just present it as the upper diagonal of the matrix.
minus-square@Lojcs@lemm.eelinkfedilink6•6 months agoThen you can’t just scan a row and get the whole info about a country. Images are rectangular anyways
minus-square@godfilma@dmv.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish4•6 months agoYou can if you pick a column. What i would do is put the name of each group in the gray box which is currently just where each group intersects with themselves. Then delete everything above that so it’s just a triangle.
minus-square@Lojcs@lemm.eelinkfedilink3•6 months agoWhy tho? It makes parsing at least somewhat harder and you don’t save any space
