Description dave 2006-05-04 11:06:35 UTC
Version:           1.4.4 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

At least for the table, preferable also for the overview, a complete legend should be shown, by default.

As different pse's show very different information, and most is shown by simple numbers, it is often hard for children/pupils/people learning to know what kind information they are looking at.
So a good legend is essential for those people to make usage of the pse.

The legend of the table now shows just the meaning of the different colors, but not of the displayed numbers, or their units.

As the overview shows more numbers, in different order, and an iconic representation of some - to me unknown - information and has plenty of free space, a legend should be there, too. To unclutter the screen, this legend could be a (quite big) tooltip.

Could you make a graphical mockup: What should it look like? This helps the developers a lot because implementing the code is often very easy, but the design itself is the hard part.

A graphical mockup, for example a simple svg made in Inkscape, would really help me/us to implement this feature...

Dave, any chance for a mockup?
