I'd be nice to have a color legend next to the y-axis of hue

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 35 points 4 months ago

Or even better, change the color of the points and lines to match the associated hue.

[-] petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 4 months ago

That'd be nice.

90 and 120 are rolling through the greens. Are posters mostly green? That seems odd to me.

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.org 17 points 4 months ago

The problem is that averaging hue makes no sense at all because hue is not a longest scale.

If you take a red poster (0) and a blue poster (240), it averages to green. Or take red (0) and red (359), averaging to cyan (180).

The average of 0° and 359° is obviously 359.5°.

it's a radial scale.

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.org 9 points 4 months ago

By that logic, the average of red and cyan is both purple and lime. Still useless.

[-] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Not if there is a clear trend. If most movie posters are blue, three average will be blue.

But i agree, it is useless if there is no clear trend.

yeah that part of the graph is completely useless to people who haven't memorised the exact degrees of the scale, which is most people, even most artists
