[limesurvey-developers] Limesurvey Reporting: Which chart library do you recommend?

[Marcel Minke]

Hi experts,

I was asked if there is any chart library that can support such a graph:
cid:***@01D27B0F.3C1D6150
There are four items and the scales range from 1 to 6. The challenge is
to have different ranges between
[1,2] and [5,6] (short distance)
[2,3] and [4,5] (medium distance)
[3,4] (long distance)

The reason for the different distances is to display options within the
main range (middle of the axis) more clearly.

I have never seen any library supporting such a layout AND the different
ranges. Maybe you have?

Best regards
Marcel

Isn't that kind of chart called radar or spider?

Well, somehow it is a simplified version of the radar chart. 4 axis, no
interconnection between the dots.

Take distance 1-6. That line is the result of a vertical projection of a function -x^2+my+k where distance from pt a to pt b is measured along the curve

Sure ;-)

...but which charting library can display it that way?
