I don't think they're flattened. It's a limitation of my ASCII art, I think that's all. Everything on the terminal has to take place within the constraints that there are 25 rows and 80 columns, and only ASCII characters can be displayed. I had to write code to convert an array of measurement results to a displayed graph on this limited ASCII canvas. The resolution is highly limited compared to what you're able to do on say, a 1280 x 1024 pixel conputer monitor. The limited resolution leads to compromises but still results as you know, in a very useful set of diagnosis and adjustment tools.
