Why are you using a stacked bar chart?

  • Hi,

    first of all many thanks for the very simple but beautiful and useful plugin. But every time checking the numbers I’m wondering why you are using a stacked bar chart for showing the history of visitors and page impressions.

    I mean usually in the statistic field you only use stacked bars for charts where the amount for both objects can be aggregated. But in this case this is wrong. The number of the visitors + the number of page impressions isn’t something you can sum. In fact that are two different number. But nevertheless the charts is aggregating both numbers and the y axis is showing the number as addition. From my point of view a multi-bar chart would be the correct statistical graph.

    Is there any reason why you have chosen the stacked bar chart?

    Hello @webserviceXXL,

    After reading your comment and thinking about it – I agree! We’ll be changing to a multiple-bar chart in a future update, most likely in early 2020. Had a baby just a few days ago so not working as much these days.

    Thanks for thinking along!
