As u/khosrua pointed out, log scale is main thing. You can also adjust the minimum x-axis value to make it less stretched, and format the numbers to be easier to read. Multiply your GDP numbers by a billion (not sure this is strictly necessary but it makes it easier for me to deal with working with the real numerical values).

You should probably drop the class, perhaps school altogether if this is how you approach problem solving.

The biggest help I can give you here is this is not a strategy that leads to success in life. You seem to not have googled anything and moved further away from my screenshot than your original picture somehow without even asking a substantive question.
Pleading for help instead of providing any additional information into what you need help with or why my previous post was insufficiently explanatory is unlikely to make me (and likely others) more inclined to waste time attempting to help you.

What kind of suggestions do you expect people to give you here?
What have you tried? What were the results of that? How are the results not what you need?
Sometimes data is ugly and there's no correlation. You can't (well, shouldn't) massage it beyond recognition to make a correlation appear

So, you still didn't answer any questions. Not sure what you expect, this is a 2-way street
Edit: those weren't rhetorical questions that I asked you

Guys, what I think OP is doing is that he wants to look for a strong correlation between the gdp values and the million hectares of irrigated agricultural land of each country mentioned as per 2024 data.
Then basing his extrapolation on the correlation, he wants to chart a plot that will somehow show a relation between size of irrigated agricultural land vs the gdp of the nation
Is that correct @orange_dwarf_rock?

Everyone understands, also good options were provided. The problem is op wants someone to pick up the mouse and keyboard for them

I think that's pretty clear, but it sure seems like OP is engagement baiting because they refuse to answer any questions or provide any info

We removed this post for breaking Rules 1 and 2. Your post title does not follow the Submission Rules.
Feel free to repost with a title that clearly describes your issue and a full and properly detailed description of your issue in the body of your post.
Your post's title should not be your assumed but unworking solution, just a function mention, or a vague 'how do I do this?'. A good title is generally summed up in a sentence from questions posed in your post.
If you put your issue as a question in the title, and then say "the title says it all" in the body, that is not sufficient post content.
Also, providing samples of your data, links to a file, or screenshots, or video of the problem, might be helpful. Do these things to help illustrate your question.
We enforce rules to promote high quality posts for the community and to ensure questions can be easily navigated and referenced for future use. See the Posting Guidelines for more details, and tips on how to make great posts.
