I was thinking that since we have jQuery and we can do some pretty things with polls, we should give the user the option of what kind of chart it displays. I think pies and bars are a good default but make it an option and hook in to it.

For reference, I'm looking at https://polldaddy.com/ for ideas that ElkArte could implement.

With great trepidation I opened a site called Pole Daddy :P

Yup we could do for some output improvements in that area.

Sounds like it would be a great addition.

Sorry, could not resist the "Can you repeat the question" option.  ;D

Jokes aside, it would be neat, but not too sure on the coding it would take.

It would be Javascript/jQuery based and there are tons of chart libraries. The backend would simple have a column for "chart_type" which would be blank for default or "pie" or scatter or bubble or whatever you wanted. It would be mostly a theme thing.
