Idea #55: Choose bar chart instead of pie chart when you want to

bug This idea was marked as implemented the 19 January 12. Available starting 2.0.
Written by onderzoekspraktijk the 19 Nov 09 at 23:49. Related project: 1.x all. Status: Implemented
Rationale
Any question that totals to 100% gets a graphic representation in the form of a pie chart.
I tried to change the code to make it possible to choose a bar chart instead.
I did this because the pie chart is terrible to intepret when it depicts more than 3 variables. It sure looks nice, but it does not convey information in a nice manner: it flabbergasts.

Selected solution (#1): chart chooser parameter in the survey fields on top of each survey

Of-course more importantly it needs some coding of the used software. I tried it but it is beyond me.

Solution #2: Redesign the statistisc function as a proper report generator
Written by c_schmitz the 31 Mar 11 at 12:03.
The statistics function should be replaced by a proper online report generator that (with a quick add function) shows a quick stat on all questions but can be fine tunes to filter and show only specific questions with specific charts. Also reports can be saved for later view.
