This style of user interface is showing up in other tools I use, so I think it will feel familiar. I also believe most people filter on just one thing most of the time, then occasionally go for more complex filters with many criteria. At least that's my pattern of use. </div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>I completely agree with that.

I"m not convinced we're a good judge of the average user. For example, the box & wiskers plots are something I deal with at work, so they are very familiar and compact. That said, some of my colleagues look at those things blankly, especially when the distributions are non gaussian. I don't know how to satisfy all, but I think good filtering and simple min/mean/max are already valuable.</div></div></div></blockquote><br class=""></div><div>So here you mention min/mean/max - so something like the second graph I posted?</div><div>Or more like this?</div><div><br class=""></div><div><img apple-inline="yes" id="2DAC2A04-3A82-46F1-9E26-BEDD5E5CBC2C" width="289" height="233" src="cid:9BA0500A-1E66-475E-8C9D-85357E1370AA" class=""></div><br class=""></body></html>
