>>12814869I'm going to restate what I think this poster was trying to say, because it gets to the heart of the matter.
The standard displays for R and C both preserve length. If we plot this
>>12814996 triangle correctly, its hypotenuse displays the same length as the segment from (0,0) to (5,0). Likewise, the hypotenuse of this
>>12813414 triangle displays the same length as the vector from (0,0) to (1,i), or from (0,0) to (?2,0).
OP's farce of a display must be rejected, even if the math behind the farce is perfectly sound.
