Talk:2864: Compact Graphs

Suggestion for X-axis: red - yellow - green - blue (like visible light spectral colours, but in reverse direction)

Suggestion for y-axis: 62 (red) - 159 (yellow) - 187 (blue) - 205 (green) - 230 (blue)

If the second "graph" really is a representation of the same data as the first, there should be five points, corresponding to (approximately) {(17, 62), (36, 159), (67, 206), (88, 186), (100, 232)}. I copied the first plot to GIMP, cropped it, scaled it to 100x250, and measured the centres of the dots. :-) BunsenH (talk) 02:19, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

I agree with five labels. Combining these information above so far, and adding information from the Color Model HSV (also extracted with GIMP, from the large file :-)

17, 62, hue 13 (red, HEX ff3a00)

36, 159, hue 51 (yellow, HEX ffdb0f)

67, 205, hue 87 (green, HEX 8afc03)

88, 187, hue 169 (turquoise, HEX 08a387)

100, 230, hue 217 (blue, HEX 0060ff)

Does anyone find a consistent/proportional correlation between x-axis and HSV-hue? If not, it makes not much sense to mention the x-axis values in the explanation.

I think we're still missing the joke. In graph theory, there's a number of important problems and theorems related to colouring and to compact graphs (although I don't think many problems involve both concepts). Someone better versed in graph theory should chime in. 172.69.214.109 15:27, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
