Resizing pie charts

Dear @Ali Zifan: , this is a great map but the pie charts are not representative of the weight of each state in the race, so the impression on a casual reader can be misleading. Would you consider producing an update where the diameter of each pie chart is roughly proportional to the number of delegates allocated in each state? You can make an exception for the smallest states with a minimum size to remain visible. For the larger states, it would dramatically improve the graph's information density and faithfulness to the data. Inspired by en:Edward Tufte's principles, you should hurry to read his books if you haven't already. Thanks! JFG (talk) 10:07, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

To be really representative of the underlying data, you should make the area of each pie chart proportional to the delegate count, i.e. use a diameter proportional to the square root of delegates. Sorry I suggested diameter in my first message. Data visualization is an art form! JFG (talk) 10:10, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

@JFG:  Done. It took some time although ;) Ali Zifan 03:23, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Splendid, thanks! The pie chart for NY looks wrong, though. TGP says Trump 60.5%, Kasich 25.0%, Cruz 14.5%, the pie chart looks like Kasich and Cruz shares have been switched. JFG (talk) 17:15, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Wyoming and New York

I don't know why Wyoming has the same portion as Nevada but it needs to be corrected. In New York, Cruz came in third not Kasich. TL565 (talk) 18:43, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
