Limesurvey uses bar charts for multiple choice questions and pie charts for single choice questions. Often users want to switch to a different chart type so this fixed assignment of certain types should be replaced by a more dynamic system which allows the user to set chart types himself.

Task Steps:

• Install LimeSurvey - import a test survey with all question types (we can provide one) and add some test data.
• Have a look at the admin statistics and the charts that are created. Check how we could best offer a choice for the user to set chart types.
• Discuss your suggestions with your mentor and together create a concept how to deal with the problem.
• Implement a generic solution.
• Discuss the patch with your mentor and ask for feedback.
• Check-in your changes into the limesurvey svn trunk.
• Done!
