I thought maybe they were areas of majority ethnic Georgians, but the maps don’t match.

aaaa wtf is the x axis? Is it some ideal index? What do the lengths of the 1980/98 parts mean?? Goddamn this is worse than worthless.

Powaqoatse posted:aaaa wtf is the x axis? The X axis is degree of economic liberalization, look at the pieces of text at the top left and right. The lengths of the lines are how much more liberal the economy became from 1980-1992, then from 1992-1998. I think.

Length is the degree of change. The legend should be associated with points, not lines. Like, it’s really the left end of the line that represents 1980, not the line itself. Also, there needs to be a consistent gap between the years. But also the entire concept is dumb. Qualitative values should not be plotted.

zedprime posted:Not to specifically legitimize economic graphs which range from nice ideas to wait-what, but if we get hassle topic specific graphs I'm going to have to dropping in engineering lookup charts which are amazingly dense and awful. This is some sort of physics thing. Enthalpy is a kind of special physics measure of heat. It's not hard to read if you know what you're looking for, and people seeing this probably would. I do wonder what it is about. Dry bulbs? Also, a physics graph with imperial units? Shame on whoever made it.

Brute Squad posted:Classical Thermodynamics. Tells you some thermo properties of moist air given wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures. Looks like it combines what would be 4 tables into 1 graph. Wet bulb and dry bulb are so named because the old MacGyver analytic method to specify air is to take the temperature with a thermometer, and then wrap the thermometer bulb with a thin wicking piece of cloth. The water in the cloth evaporates and cools down the thermometer and when you hit equilibrium you read it and that's the wet bulb. Depending what you would call an independent table (since you just need to find a state point out of any 2 properties) you missed one. You can get dew point out of this thing too.

BonHair posted:That's not what the graph shows though. OK, serious answer. NZ in the 1970s had an incredibly insular economy which had been entirely based on shipping frozen meat to the UK until the UK joined the European Economic Community, which hosed things up for us quite badly. So in the 1980s and early 1990s we really got into the Reaganomics thing quite hard. It was known as Rogernomics here after the finance minister at the time, but it continued through succeeding governments as well. Subsidies were wiped out and import liscencing was abolished, the railways, post office (including the telephone network), Power generation, State Housing,the bank of NZ and many other state assets were privatized, welfare was cut. This resulted in a lot of unemployment and killed a number of industries such as vehicle assembly and textiles that we hit very badly by the tariff cuts. But the end result is that the economy diversified and now we are reliant on tourism as well as dairy farming! Another lookup chart, this one is for sizing drainage pipes. Apparently pipemakers would have books of these showing the qualities of each size and type of pipe they made. Try making a table of a bunch of these:

Basically the blood pH is a function of HCO3- concentration and partial CO2 pressure so the 3 are related. The top version of the graph plots the concentration of HCO3- as a function of blood pH for different values of pCO2. Each curve is for a different value of pCO2.

No correlation factor footnote is suspicious. That's the sort of grouping that often looks whizzbang but statistically points toward weak association at best.

If I had to hazard a guess, collapse the x axis and look at the color distribution, and you get a more significant-looking country-group ordering of OECD>Central & Easter Europe>Middle East & North Africa~Asia & Oceania>Americas>Sub-Saharan Africa. Seems like belonging to different geopolitical groupings is a serious compounding factor, if not the more significant difference.
