Well, regardless of how you did it, I definitely see your touch is improving! You've got some good variation there.
As far as your graph being backwards? For me it is, yes. But for the next guy it might be the right way.
It all depends on what you consider the left & right CP's to be, lol. EITHER way will work just fine though.
One thing I'm not sure about is how you marked out your initial contact points? You put 14.75 and 5.75 for the
left and right CP's, then filled the adjacent boxes using quarter increments.... i.e. 14.5, 14.75, 15, 15.25, 15.5.
This makes for EXTREMELY small divisions for your readings. What was your train of thought here?
The norm is to round to the nearest whole number. So if your initial CP was 14.75, you'd put 15 in that box,
then fill in the others using whole numbers as well. So you'd have 14,
15, 16, 17, 18. Same for your other
one - your initial CP was 5.75? Then use 6. So you'd have 3, 4, 5,
6, 7.
Now, the 3 lines you have in between each whole number would represent 1/4, 1/2, 3/4. This means you've
broken down one increment into fourths. For more precise readings, you can break it down further into eighths.
In order to do this, you'd place your marks halfway between each of those lines. Take this graph for example.....
If you look at zero. I've marked directly between 96 and 96 1/4 ...... this represents 96 1/8.
Or how about 44 to 56? Marks between 96 1/2 and 96 3/4 ..... that represents 96 5/8
Later, you can worry about even more precision by division in tenths.
