I did a bit of a re-think on the charting project, based on the similarities and differences of the pie and bar charts. I’ve scrapped the original repository, and set up a new one at http://lucernesys.com/hzcharts. It’s read-only, like the old one. HZCharts is a better description of the project, and I’ve re-factored the code to eliminate some duplication, but more work is probably needed.

For a quick hit download the source, compile and run the program. Drag the mouse around in the pie chart window to move the chart around. Then hold down ‘ctrl’ and drag to explode the pie. Now, go to the ‘View’ menu and select bar chart. You can move that chart with the mouse, too.

Any suggestions, criticisms, and especially code improvements are welcome. Leave a comment or email me.
