Has anyone checked out the render from oficial.blend output?

It looks quite unusable.

Will the script eventually produce usable output?

Here is some feedback on your oficial2.blend. You actually have two versions of the script in two different text documents. It is hard to tell which one I should use? So I used the one that was displayed on my screen when I opened the file.

As a coder it is nice to protect against errors so the script does not quit working for new users. For instance I get this error


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Developer\Desktop\25_pie_chart_oficial2.blend\Text", line 75, in getCSV
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/sms-md/Escritorio/data.csv'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Developer\Desktop\25_pie_chart_oficial2.blend\Text", line 122, in draw
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Developer\Desktop\25_pie_chart_oficial2.blend\Text", line 90, in getCSV
NameError: global name 'self' is not defined

location:&lt;unknown location&gt;:-1

Hard coding a path to a CSV file does not make much sense. If you want to supply a default so new users can get some joy out of this script you may want to consider checking if the file exists before you try to operate upon it. Also if the file does not exist, why not scan the text document area for default data?

EXAMPLE DATA.CSV:


a,11
b,22
c,2
d,4
e,12

@ATom
Do not agree totally, both Versions are more or less the same, and from the official site says the Readme, that you need
an absolute address to an *.csv file to use …

Nice work: see
