This spectrum can be a helpful way to think about literature because it provides a more open-ended way to discuss writing as art than simply labeling works as literary or not. After viewing the above chart, why do you think popular magazines and a Calculus textbook are considered "less literary"?
Personally I would have to say that magazines and calculus textbooks are considered to be "less literary" because both lack context or description of what you are looking at. Magazines are purely pictures with maybe a few sentences to go along with it, but I definitely wouldn't consider a magazine as art.
