Choose bar chart instead of pie chart when you want to  
Written by onderzoekspraktijk the 19 Nov 09 at 23:49. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
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.
