English: Graph showing values of the E12 series, which is used to standardize values of resistors and capacitors. The values shown cover two decades of the series, from 1 to 82, and illustrate the exponential nature of the series.
This graph was generated by the Perl program below, which was specially written for the purpose. If changes need to be made, it's probably best to tweak the program and re-run it to get a new version, rather than editing the SVG directly.
