It is ridiculously easy to create meaningful (and meaningless!) graphs of my dive data. Thanks Berthold, Willem and Dirk for going to so much effort to devise and implement this. A few nitpicks/suggestions: - When I select max or mean depth as a variable, the binning options are 'none', 'in 5 m steps', 'in 10 m steps' and 'in 10 m steps'. The duplicate entry should be removed - As noted in other emails, the scattergraph trendline / linear regression is frequently meaningless. It would be good to add a check box to show or hide the line (similar to the checkboxes for labels and legend for the stacked bar charts). I think this is probably simpler and more useful than determining base on the R value (or similar) whether the fit is good enough to make displaying the line worthwhile, but I have no objection to doing both. Displaying the R value could also be appreciated by a few people, but others could find it annoying/confusing - if you do decide to do this, please make it optional. - When hovering over a group in the bar or pie charts, it would be nice if the box that pops up lists the dives (especially when the list is short). I have one dive with a SAC 68-70 l/min, and it'd be handy if the graph showed when it was. There are also 7 CCR dives in my log, which is odd since I know I've never done a CCR dive. - The variable of 'Buddies' seems to pick up both buddies and divemasters. Apparently "Me" is one of my most common buddies (I'm not such an egomaniac that I list myself as my own buddy, but I did list myself as the DM). - An export / copy graph feature would be nice (but a low priority) Other comments: - This is a great way to identify bodgy data. As well as the bogus CCR dives I mentioned about, it looks like I have one dive (under a pier) in the 75-80 m range, and two dives with a water temperature of -17.8 deg C. I know these are incorrect, and tied to issues downloading from my old dive computer (addressed a few years ago by Jef, but it seems I neglected to tidy up all of the incorrect data) - The date (year) vs No. dives graph is depressing. Thanks again, Rick
