Tuva Tools — Changelog

In 2.4.0, there are a number of updates for the bar chart plot type. The impetus for this change is feedback we received from users. Our goal with these changes is to make it easier for learners to understand the type of bar chart they're going to create.

Changed:

• Bar Charts:
• The bar chart menu has been changed to now show the following menu options: Bar Chart of Frequencies, Bar Chart of Values, Bar Chart of Sums, Bar Chart of Means, and Stretched Bar Chart.
• From v2.3.0, Bar Chart has been changed to Bar Chart of Values to better communicate its purpose.
• From v2.3.0, Stacked bar Chart has been changed to Bar Chart of Sums to better communicate its purpose.

Added:

• Bar Charts:
• Bar Chart of Means is an entirely new plot type allowing learners to create bars that compare the means between different categories.
• Bar Chart of Frequencies has a new dedicated frequency axis, whose purpose is to show the number of cases in each bar in the plot.
• Stretched Bar Chart now has a dedicated percent axis, which will be used to compare normalized data within and between categories.
• Added additional visual feedback to communicate to learners that the Bar Chart of Values, Bar Chart of Sums, Bar Chart of Means, and Stretched Bar Chart require certain types of attributes to properly organize the learners data. The visual feedback includes a gray color disabled state for the bar chart and new text in the drop areas.
