Log scale graphs -- Native Analytics
Adopted the logarithmic scale for rendering unique visitor graphs. First batch of notches covers the 1 to 10 range. Second - from 11 to 100 (i.e. each notch being worth 10 times more), third - from 101 to 1000, fourth - from 1001 to 10000, etc.
It's a way to visualize a really wide range of numbers that (a) works equally well across the entire range (b) gives a quick idea of what any number is like. For example, if the rightmost notch falls into the third batch, then respective value is in 100s. If it's in 5th batch, then it's in tens of thousands.
Full shot has some smaller/larger numbers.
