I created a widget that replaces the upvote / downvote bar with a pie chart to display the results in a different, more readable way than the existing percentage bar. Every site that I've seen uses a bar to show the percentages of upvotes and downvotes for a given submission (ex reddit, imgur, etc.). I find the pie chart more intuitive, and the upvote / downvote buttons are on top of / below each other, respectively, instead of next to each other, making the upvoting / downvoting more intuitive since one is "up" and the other is "down".

How to Use

In your html, include the following scripts:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="chartwidget.js"></script>

this style sheet:

and any identifiable div, say

Lastly, call pieChart() on your identifiable div $("#chart").pieChart(); options you can add: data_upvote --> Number of upvotes a chart should display data_downvote --> Number of downvotes a chart should display normalchart --> boolean indicating whether the chart should act as an upvote/downvote chart or a normal pie chart callback --> called after an end user has upvoted or downvoted on a chart.
