Hi, "we will try to find something more open friendly for the future - though I dont know if such a thing exists."
Yes it does! The R language/statistical software has advanced statistical graphics capacity, cf. e.g.: http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/thumbs.php?sort=votes Here, instead of a pie chart, I would suggest: 1) a bar plot in alphabetical order of categories, and 2) a Pareto plot (bar plot in decreasing order of vote) I would save them in a single png file that would be displayed on the web page. Optionally, to get interactive capacity, I would use the sendplot R package: It allows to get nice customized call tips without using any browser addon (only html and standard ecmascript). To implement this, the easiest I can thing of is (but there are other solutions): Each time there is a new vote: 1- the page managing the vote adds the result of the vote to a plain text file 2- launch an R script (by a system/bash call) The R script will do the following: 3- Read the results of the vote from the plain text file 4- Generates the plot(s), saving it in a png file in a folder of the web server 5- optionally adding interaction (saving relevant javascript file) The steps 1 and 2 can be replaced by a direct call to R (there are R bindings from many web scripting languages). I volunteer to do steps 3 to 5 if you are interested. This requires to have R installed on the web server (it is packaged for most linux distribs).
