Thanks for the comments. I'll try to include all possibilities (using existing pChart or SVG) in my proposal. One more question, it was
required
on our part to submit a patch before we submit our proposal. I submitted a patch for mass table prefix change (
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3220779&group_id=230... ).
Its for one of the 'Tasks for Junior developers' and its working fine
(nijel
verified that) but not accepted yet, so will it count or I'll have to do something more before I could submit?
I changed the resolution to "accepted" and you don't need to send another patch before sending your project proposal.
Thanks
I had a doubt (it might be silly but I thought I should ask). One important feature of such a data visualization system is that it should not create confusion or represent something that the data is not. Consider the movie database example, when a user sees a plot of ratings vs year / genre vs lanuage, a lot of data points will overlap. So a lot of data will be hidden from the user at the first sight. What will a user make out of it? I know we handle such conditions by providing all the data instances when he clicks on the point but a user might not go that far. If he is not able to understand the initial plot he might not continue further ( like not zoom in/click data point). I am just a little concerned about the usability part and not the functionality.
