I would like to request the option to plot data in CCK columns (rather than rows).

Ie so that the module can effectively chart data such as:

Apples Oranges Bananas
Node 1 20 30 50

At the moment the module can only deal with

Percentage
Node 1 Apples 20
Node 2 Oranges 30
Node 3 Bananas 50

I am not expert enough in PHP to modify the code to achieve this.

Ideally the module would be customised to give the user the option, within the webform, on whether to plot data in rows or columns. But, if that is too complex, I would be happy with a solution that just changes the rendering from rows to columns, without exposing the option within the webform.

I am willing to pay someone who can help deliver this functionality. Please message me if you want to discuss.

I have also posted this request here: http://drupal.org/node/634940

thanks for any help

Daniel,

I apologize for my belated response. I've just seen your message, and if you are still interested in those changes about the module, we are available and eager to do the work.
Happy holidays to you!

Was this feature ever implemented? Is there a patch?

To my knowledge it was unfortunately not implemented, nor is there a patch. Would still be great if this functionality could be added.

After some thinking on how such a feature could be implemented I believe this should be a module on it's own.

It's important to understand that Views Charts is a module that implements a handler to get tabular produced by Views and present it in a graph way. It doesn't change this info in any way, it only produces a graph from it.

What you want is to change the way Views show some info: AFAICU you need that Views breaks a field with several values and present them as several independent values.

This is a functionality completely independent from Views Charts that could eventually be useful in other scenarios also. Ones that have nothing to do with Views Charts.

I'm closing it as "won't fix" as it really doesn't strike me as a feature Views Charts should have. As I said before, this should be a module on it's own implementing a new handler that breaks one field and produces tabular that from it.
