Horizontal is +Shadow. Vertical ...That's correct. Horizontal is +Shadow. Vertical doesn't really mean anything, it's just how they are stacked.<BR/><BR/>Bar length, however, is the key here. That bar represents the range of characters using that gear at that +Shadow. FSW Boots, for example, are used by players roughly from +520 out past +1400.<BR/><BR/>What isn't (yet) represented is how many players are using them and what the distribution is. Right now, you can't tell if it is just 2 players using FSW boots, one at 520 and one out past 1400. That's part of why it is still a work in progress.<BR/><BR/>I'd also like to color the gear based on how it is obtained: red for Arena, orange for Honor, blue for Badges, etc. But I need to do some testing to see if it doesn't look like Circus vomit.apanthropesphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737643841213452002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245048376029073452.post-66081232565558671342008-07-08T20:17:00.000-04:002008-07-08T20:17:00.000-04:00Hey, cool.

I'll be watching with interest to see what you come up with.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't quite come to grips with your example, though - what exactly does it represent? I'm guessing it's spell damage along the bottom judging by the scale, but what does the vertical axis and the size of the bars represent?chronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993654827318271626noreply@blogger.com
