> actual people on the graph (not one person scaling) yeah I couldn't find an image which showed exactly what I meant, but yes, that is what I had in mind. Although you seem to be suggesting that you should be able to get a literal exact count of the people. I think that that won't be possible or useful because the data is aggregated over several timepoints. I guess "on mondays, approx 10 people visit" might be usefu…
>Using a repeating image of little stick people will hint to users that the bars represent visitor volume. This is a very good idea. Unfortunately his bars are vectors drawn with SVG, I don't think it allows background images. Another, perhaps not as clear suggestion would be to simply add a "Smaller bars mean less busy" message under the graph, like you see on performance benchmarks.
Re: When Should I Visit? - A 24 hour hack I made, what do you think?
#61I could draw the stick people in SVG
