In cultures which read from left to right, graphs are better interpreted when the reference scale is on the left, and this remains best practice.
However, as Adam Niedling (#5) suggests, there is nothing wrong with having the left-hand side scale repeated on the right-hand side – but only as an addition, not as a substitute for the left-hand side scale. This is especially useful when the chart has a long horizontal axis and, as here, where a real-time process originates at the right-hand side. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-system-monitor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283720 Title: y-axis scales on "Resources" tab should be on the right Status in The GNOME System Monitor: Fix Released Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor In the Resources tab, the user is primarily interested in the information on the far right of each graph. This is the newest information. As such, it is inconvenient to look all the way to the left edge of the graph to see the scale. The scale should either be on the right side of the graph, or on both sides.
