I posted this poll.

For giggles, I chose a pie graph to represent the results. When I click Show Results, the pie is so big I can’t even read it. I can see a fingernail of it and part of the legend below it, and I can click on the legend and get a bit of movement, but it’s mostly useless. Did I do something wrong, somehow making it too large?

What browser on what operating system on what hardware?

The pie chart is a perfectly cromulent size when viewed in Android Firefox on my phone.

On my windows laptop in Firefox I see a little less than half the pie and there is no way to scroll sideways to get the rest of it.

Looks fine to me. Chrome on Android phone.

Same for me, on Firefox, Pale Moon, and Chrome (all Windows 10 desktop).

So thus far: works for Android phones but not Windows laptops.

Waiting for the Apple crowd to check in.

+1

Does it work on Android phone? I can see the pie on mine, but only 4 snacks are in the legend and there’s no way to scroll through to see what’s what.

Good point, I wasn’t focused on the legends, just the completeness of the pie.

I see the same effect on my mobile browser: a full pie chart but only the first four legends, and the rest truncated.

Firefox on Mac desktop. I can only see a small slice of the pie and can’t tell what any of the colors are supposed to be.

I can tap each section and what it represents pops up. I presume the 4 listed ones are the smallest/hardest to select.

Hmm, that’s not it. Pork rinds is one of the smallest sections, and it isn’t listed.

On the computer if I mouse over the inside of the pie, a square appears on the right edge toward the center. It seems to make a partial circle. If I could see the whole pie, maybe I could see it making a complete circle as I move it. I’m guessing that’s supposed to indicate which snack, maybe highlighting it in the legend or something?

If I click on the snack names or boxes next to them, it moves the wheel.

On my android phone I can touch the slice of the pie and it will show what it is. One dark blue sliver: hot peanuts 2. A light colored one, Tortilla chips 12. That touch screen thing doesn’t work on computer (I just had the idea to try it).
