Ciao Thomas & Mat

Great stuff.

Just a side note on such Circles from an informational design viewpoint. 
They are extremely good for depicting a limited amount of data. I think its 
right they are best seen individually as a record of percentage, at which 
they are epic. Its a simple idea that reflects an analogue clock motif. 
That's why they really communicate well overall *time spans*, and a real 
sense of "*how far through*". A circle 80% complete immediately 
communicates its real weight of time or quantity. 

However, *for comparative data they don't work so well*. Beyond having a 
very few in a row they just become weak. In comparative cases, where there 
are must data to compare, circle size variation, rather than incomplete 
circles would often do better a better job (or bar charts for that matter).

My tuppence.

Best wishes
Josiah
