What I'm trying to say is that this is fairly human-hostile:
cht=p3&chd=s:Uf9a&chs=250x100&chl=REBOL|Python|Perl|Ruby
Even compared to very minor changes, like this:
type=pie3D&data=simple:Uf9a&size=250x100&label=REBOL|Python|Perl|Ruby
It's a charting API, so the "ch" part is redundant, no? Then, to keep
things short, you only have one letter left to determine what facet
you're referring to. At least they got the size format right though.
:)
I'm not going to fault them too much though. It's a cool service, and
points out that there is a lot of value in the basic elements
(compared to, say, a multi-megabyte, multi-thousand-dollar add-on
package for VS.NET).
