I keep taking a look at those unofficial graphs, from time to time. On a second thought, there's something that I don't especially like in them, from an esthetic point of view. If I compare them with the current official graphs, I notice a number of cosmetic differences: many of them look like an enhancement to me, but two of them seem to be a regression. The first change I don't like is that the background grid is now made up of dotted lines, rather than of solid lines. I would prefer solid lines: I think they make the graph more readable. The second change I don't appreciate too much is that the background grid seems to have horizontal lines for integral values of the vertical axis (which makes sense), but also for half steps (which does not make sense to me: the number of bugs is always an integer, may a package have 14.5 bugs? I guess it cannot...). I would prefer having fewer horizontal lines (at most one for each integral value of the vertical axis), since having too many horizontal lines makes the graph hard to read. I hope that constructive criticism may be helpful... :-) [...] > > OK, I can understand that you want to do some more testing (and maybe > > data collecting), before these new "creatures" go on-line as official > > graphs! > > > > But please do not wait one year, before making them official! ;-) > > Actually, I hope to be able to fill them with old data gathered from the > BTS but that is currently stalling. Is there any hope to see these new graphs going official before next January? ;-) -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/progs/scripts/pdebuild-hooks.html Need some pdebuild hook scripts? .....................................................
