[QUOTE=chalsall;408174]I would be happy to provide you with the code which generates the tables, graphs etc. It's in Perl though...[/QUOTE]Is your graph-generating code home-rolled, or are you using a chart library of some kind?
I'm not sure if I should write my own chart generator to make something along the lines of the existing mersenne.info graphs (i.e. PNG output) or something fancy and JS-based like [url=http://www.amcharts.com/demos/3d-stacked-column-chart/]amCharts[/url].

On Mersenne.info and GPU72, all graphs are generated using [URL="http://search.cpan.org/dist/GDGraph/Graph.pm"]GD:Graph[/URL]. Remarkably fast.

However, you might want to consider a client-side solution; I've had great success with the [URL="http://d3js.org/"]Data-Driven Documents[/URL] Javascript library. Absolutely amazing what you can do with it!

*GASP* Javascript? Oh noes... that would mean Retina couldn't view pretty graphs. Oh well... he'd just say that graphs are useless and prefers a table of numbers. :smile: (I had to get that in... sorry Retina!)

I looked at Google Charts for some mersenne.org things but didn't get too deep into them:
[URL="https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery?hl=en"]https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery?hl=en[/URL]

I may explore it more down the road, but just wanted to point it out.

I think it is OK to use JavaScript, which is a Web standard and supported by all browsers. Of course if someone wants to disable JavaScript, he will not be able to see the graph, but this is a problem of the person who does not want to see Web pages as they were designed. In the same way, if you want to disable CSS, you will see Web pages incorrectly.

[QUOTE=Madpoo;411055]*GASP* Javascript? Oh noes... that would mean Retina couldn't view pretty graphs.[/QUOTE]Absolutely. I [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=410917&postcount=312]already promised[/url] that he wouldn't be able to :smile:

[QUOTE=Madpoo;411055]I looked at Google Charts ... just wanted to point it out.[/QUOTE]Yes, that would have been my first choice since I'm passingly familiar with it, unfortunately there's no option for stacked columns or other 3-dimension charts (I don't mean the columns look 3D, I mean 3 data dimensions).

So I've tossed up some basic graphs by amCharts. It's slightly heavy with so many data points loading, but it's very easy to use (for me :smile:)
I'll still need to tweak a number of things, like axis labels and so forth. But it's a start.

Very good. But I think that the bars should be thinner, so we can see the bars behind them.
