Concerning OpenJump it is really good but I couldn't make a pie chart map
with it as I could do with Arcview 3.x
I added the charts plugin but I think It doesn't classify the size of charts

Does anyone can do it by any open-source GIS?

Hi Cameron,
the table of comparison is informative.
Most of the ARC-GIS users (my personal view) are Vector GIS users.
They are concerned of

2. Attribution
3. Analysis depending on their need.

this is the kind of question I face when in my lectures evangelising OS GIS.

almost distance the user from understanding the concept of GIS.
