<p><font face="Arial">Hi together,</font></p>
<p>Thank you very much for the verrrrrry nice mockup, Pedro! I
really like this!</p>
<p>Let me give some thoughts from a more-or-less outsider
perspective in this discussion.</p>
<p>From a UI-Perspective, I would prefer the layout to be "Dive List
top left", "Filter top right", "Stats selection bottom left",
"Stats display bottom right". This is with the reasoning that (in
the western world) we work from top left, top right, bottom left,
bottom right, and the logical Workflow would be to have the dive
list as input, which is then filtered, then the statistics
selected and finally the output. This workflow could also be
applied as sort of a wizard for mobile devices.<br>
</p>
<p>For selecting the graph type (the bar vs boxplot discussion):
Could this also be implemented as an option in the "Stats
selection" section? I think it's obvious that some people prefer
the more advanced boxplot version, and some the easier to
understand bar/line graph version.<br>
</p>
<p>Another (third? fourth?) option I just tought of was a boxplot
with included histogram, where the histogram is displayed as color
(instead of a curve). I have attached an image of a short mockup
(Where red means more, and green means less). I'm not sure if
that's a good idea, but at least it's an idea ;-) <br>
</p>

<p>About graph orientation: I strongly agree that the bars (or boxes
or whatever) should be vertical, so that the time-axis (or trip
axis or whatever) is the z axis. This is (at least for me) the
natural way to read graphs, and also what's currently done in the
dive-display.</p>
<p>And as a last point a proposal for a little visual gimmick: I
would really like to have the value-axis for depth turned around,
so that the 0-point is on top of the graph (like in the current
dive-graph). With this, the visual representation of the data is
the same as in the physical reality, lower means lower.</p>
<p>Best regards<br>
Christof<br>

Wow, that's a VERY cool mockup.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I had considered taking over the top two panes of
our display; dive list on the lower left. Filter (hopefully with
the new, incremental UI) on the lower right. The selection of
statistics (drop downs) top left, graph top right.</div>

<div class="">But the flow that you describe sounds right to me.</div>

Yes, this was intended as an example for 'by time'.<br

And no, I suck as a UI designer.<br class="">
But I've also learned that we cannot start creating a

Is something like this what you had in mind? I kind of
like your reasoning in what concerns the workflow:<br

<br class="">
1. Select:<br class="">
<br class="">
1.1 select variables;<br class="">
<br class="">
1.2. select grouping;<br class="">
<br class="">
1.3. select granularity;<br class="">
<br class="">
2. Filter dives based on selected criteria;<br class="">
<br class="">
3. Calculate stats;<br class="">
<br class="">
4. Display results based on chosen stats.<br class="">
<br class="">
Is this what you have in mind, or am I missing it?<br
