      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.},
