Making "uncertainty" areas more transparent

[edit]

This graphic is exceptionally pertinent, well executed, and widely used. However, I think the "uncertainty" areas are too dominant (too solid), especially since much of the public won't even know what they represent. Especially in thumbnail view, solid "uncertainty" areas make it harder to distinguish the main traces that are the essence of the chart. I suggest you make the "uncertainty" areas substantially more transparent; I'm assuming It's a relatively simple change. RCraig09 (talk) 20:01, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Efbrazil If you agree, just reduce the settings of the only two fill-opacity= designations, which are now about "0.5". I think "0.2" gives a good result. RCraig09 (talk) 20:14, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
User:RCraig09 Makes good sense, done to 70% transparency, it was really not visible to me at 80%. I think I'd rather cut the uncertainty shading entirely than go to 80%. Thanks for the ping btw, I often miss edits otherwise. --Efbrazil (talk) 20:59, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Celsius only

[edit]

User:Efbrazil As degree Fahrenheit is only needed for Joe Sixpack with an US zipcode and for some Carribean people, could you develop a second version which uses for both Y-axes on the left and right hand side of the diagramm a Celsius scale? This could be used in countries / wiki languages which do not need Fahrenheit. As the graph goes up and meets scale reading on the right hand side, Celsius users may be affected by misreadings if they mixup the ~2.0 value with their commonly used degree Celsius. --Gunnar (talk) 14:57, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
