The following was intended to be a presentation at the 2017 European TiddlyWiki Meetup in Oxford. It turned out to be a most wonderful event but we had too much fun so this presentation didn't make it time-wise.

I might make a video recording of it on my own at some point, but FWIW, here is the TW for the presentation.

Please read the default tiddler or you are likely to be confused.

Mat!

The mode where you can pop out the sidebar into a new window works really well with my Pyramid TW (see Two Screens, Duet: sharing Ah-Ah!)

Is this still the case? Not that I changed anything, but I find my sites suffer from slow loading and suspect I've messed up something in the TW5 that I use as a template for my wikis.

Apropo this, does anybody know how to analyze what causes slow loading time in a TW?

Thanks!

Actually, it is the tiddler "Notes" that pops up. The sidebar is hidden or pushed off screen if I recall.

This is great, Mat! I would love to hear your explanations.

I will have to play with your circle demo asap.

Thanks for sharing anyway!

Stylish regards,
Thomas

For unknown reasons that particular circle demo doesn't work in FF and there's some tweakign needed when it exceeds 50%. The source is found here (along with several other cool things on that site!!!)

Here’s a solution that works in Firefox too:
https://tid.li/tw5/styles.html#56%20Statistics%20Percent:%5B%5B56%20Statistics%20Percent%5D%5D%20CircleBar%2FStylesheet

One more time $wikify is our friend.

Happy hacking,
Thomas

Hmm, I just realize, that my solution works from 10 to 99 % only and does not take into account one and three digit percentages.
I’ll sleep over that.

o.k. The demo is fixed.

Next on my list: set the >50% flag automagically.

done.

You can have individual colors per graph now, as long as they show different percent values. Configurations are saved in a config tiddler per tiddler.

Have fun!

Ciao Thomas & Mat

Great stuff.

Just a side note on such Circles from an informational design viewpoint. They are extremely good for depicting a limited amount of data. I think its right they are best seen individually as a record of percentage, at which they are epic. Its a simple idea that reflects an analogue clock motif. That's why they really communicate well overall time spans, and a real sense of "how far through". A circle 80% complete immediately communicates its real weight of time or quantity.

However, for comparative data they don't work so well. Beyond having a very few in a row they just become weak. In comparative cases, where there is much data to compare, circle size variation, rather than incomplete circles would often do better a better job (or bar charts for that matter).

My tuppence.

Best wishes
Josiah
