Granted, there were only 3 types of graphs to draw (overdamped, underdamped, and critically damped), but it was straightforward to determine these.

I think what I take from that is: if you know what the data represents, you (the human) can pre-select a set of possible scalings and programmically choose the best one.

But that doesn't really help for the general case where the data the program gets could be anything?
