“…Given a set of data, Thayer and Storer (1969) provided a method (AS 21) for choosing, for a specified number of intervals, a reasonable scale for a graph which enclosed the maximum and minimum of the data. Both this algorithm and AS 44, an algorithm for scatter diagram plotting (Sparks, 1971), which incorporates the method in a simpler form, could be improved.…”

“…I also experimented with the heuristics discussed in Wilkinson (2005), but to my eye these produced poor results. Other methods are discussed in Murdoch (2000); Nelder (1976); Sparks (1971); Stirling (1981); Thayer and Storer (1969). There has been little recent work on "optimal" tick mark placement, especially for non-linear scales.…”
