Thank you. Actually, I only seem to need some percentage bars for my poll results (% of yes, perhaps and no for about 50 questions). So I wrote a python script that gets the data from my database and writes an EPS of the bar (fortunately I learned how to handcode PS). This is converted to PDF, and I'm set. As I mentioned, my magazine is made with InDesign, so I can't calculate on the fly. Looking at all the beautiful sparklines, I thought how I could utilize the higher data density, but had no idea yet. But my inline bars (with a scale) are already better than the pie charts that I had in mind first.
