inverted axis

Axis running in reverse so that a rise reads as a fall.

axe inversé

Axe orienté à l'envers qui fait lire une hausse comme une baisse.

Légitime pour une profondeur ou un rang à condition de le signaler. Pandey et al. (2015) le classent parmi les distorsions qui renversent le message.
