Generally, you want data to be presented either as scientific notation, or perhaps in the range of 0.001 to 1000. Most folks prefer the latter. Right now you're presenting values as cm^2 or cm^3. For things like apples or toaster ovens these might be approachable. For a decent sized pond the values are too large to be easily interpreted.

Try picking a different SI unit for your pond dimensions, and regenerate your graphs.

Also - you should learn how to save your graphs as PNG files, and you should have your script write them to a folder in the repository. Think about how you want your plots laid out on your presentation, and that can inform whether you generate square or rectangular printouts.

Good, your switch to meters in 9f976f5 makes a lot more sense than keeping your reports in centimeters.
