So if we want to keep the logarithmic scale we can do some maths: Assume we use a formula ala length = a log(change + b) + c with three invariants a, b, and c. We want to scale linearly at first, but want to reach width at max_change: 0 = a log(b) + c 1 = a log(b + 1) + c width = a log(max_change + b) + c But only I have not succeeded in solving these equations, I always stop at the last invariant :-( -- Martin Waitz
