RE: Speedometer chart

OMG, that is soooo cheezy! :) The problem with dials (aside from cheeze
factor) is they are space inefficient and more than one or two range
values (hands) gets messy. Definitely convenient for a lot of mechanical
systems that produce a rotation but when you do not have those physical
constraints a line or matrix is better. Take this with a grain of salt
however because I have bad memories of Borland's cheezeware that over
used dials:)

Has anyone thought about or worked on a speedometer chart like this:

That would be a nice addition to jcharts.
