There is the "simple thing: better colouring for the statistics" thread here that deals with coloring the lines, choosing a palette, reassigning colors as people select/unselect projects, little popups on the lines as the user moves the cursor over the lines, and making the corresponding line more visible as the user moves the cursor over the project names. But, I did not see a suggestion about the scale of the graph; maybe I missed it.

One problem I am seeing is that at the bottom of the graph, there are a lot of lines lying on top of each other. There are a few projects that hand out many credits, so they account for the lines that shoot into the sky, but then there are projects that are not too active, without many WUs, giving out less credit over time. Those get cramped at the bottom in a way that one ends up drawing on top of the other. Even selecting/unselecting a few doesn't make a visible difference. I have up to 53 projects on each of my machines (a few less if the CPU cannot run a VM, or the GPU is not strong enough for GPUGRID, or the Windows driver for the Intel Iris graphics turns my laptop into a brick while running Einstein) and the bottom of my graph is totally useless: http://1drv.ms/1PIwaaq

It would be of great help if I had a chance to change the vertical scale to some sort of a logarithmic scale so that the lines bunched up at the bottom would have some room for separation, in addition to all the other suggestions in the other coloring thread (I especially like the one where the project line somehow becomes more visible as the cursor moves over project name on the right).

Thanks for listening
