A Daisy Chart
I think it’s about time, that I put a proper Daisy Chart in this blog.
A Daisy Chart
If you’d like to play there is a free shareware version of Daisy available from this page.
The chart shown is a typical Daisy Chart, showing a Date and Time Analysis, where a Date field is mapped by Day of the Week to a set of boxes or nodes in an arc of a circle. A Time field is also mapped by Hour of the Day. (These are two of up to a hundred different mappings or filters in Daisy.)
The data relates to the testing of a new communication program for the Internet. The other groups of nodes relate to Success/Failure, the various Faults and for how long the user was Connected.
Note the histograms on each node, which show how many attempts were made and how many pieces of electronic mail were received.
Each arc of nodes is linked to records, that have the same values. Thus, if you click on the first node of the group Date, you will select all of the records, that take place on a Sunday.
As you examine this chart, look at the values on the histograms and the detail in the nodes and links.

Hello, I’ve recently discovered (and just downloaded) Daisy4All. I’m hoping to use it to express hospital emergency department waiting times by hours of the day and days of the week, and dimensions such as urgency category, and pass/fail on benchmarks. I first saw an image of a remarkable Daisy chart/plot whilst searching for rose/nightingale charts, which led me to search your earlier sites and offerings (and even an old PC World article) until I got here. I just wanted to say thanks for making this available again.

I think you’re in Aus. But if you need any help let me know. I’m just recovering from a serious stroke, but luckily I got an overdose of survival genes at conception. And a lot of stubborn ones too, which have convinced me that those awful women; God and the Devil will have to take another unlucky bugger to play with!
