In the "Events" section, changing the value to 5/5 results in an empty pie chart, rather than a full one. 0-4 out of 5 all work correctly. Edit: The violet 16px 7/7 example in the "Tips" section on the page is also missing. Browser: Chromium 18.0.1025.151 (Developer Build 130497 Linux) Ubuntu 11.04

Works as expected (full pie) on Firefox 13/Ubuntu

Yes. Same on OS X and Firefox 13.

Since you only support IE9+, I don't see how any serious project would pick your charts. IE8 is still #3 most common browser version in the world. IE7 is #5. http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version-ww-monthly-201105...

There is a flash based implementation of the canvas that could be used in place of missing element. It only requires a simple drop in code.

Just checked my analytics out of interest. Sample of 200k unique visitors to a non-tech related website, 6.7% IE8 or less. I would certainly consider using this tool even without knowing about the flash shim, especially for something that something is probably an eye-candy extra and not the central feature of a statistical page.

So let's say I don't care about compatibility, what is the real differences between Peity and jQuery sparklines?

Never knew about Sparkline...cool. Now that I've seen it, I second your question.

I tried adding a hook for ExplorerCanvas - http://excanvas.sourceforge.net/ - a while back but got inconsistent results - https://github.com/benpickles/peity/issues/7#issuecomment-27...

Thanks, hadn't heard of that one.

"Peity (sounds like deity)" As someone who pronounces deity day-a-tee, I'm guessing you actually mean pee-a-tee and not pay-a-tee.

Day-a-tee sounds about right - but I'm not precious. It was a deliberate miss-spelling of "pie" with some other letters added on... and quite possibly a mistake.
