#1051 Task Statistics would be better without 3D look on Pie Chart

[Rikard Edgren]

Task Statistics currently uses a 3D look on the Pie Chart.
This would be better with a 2D look, to quote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_chart
"Often used for aesthetic reasons, the third dimension does not improve the reading of the data; on the contrary, these plots are difficult to interpret because of the distorted effect of perspective associated with the third dimension."

Hi Rikard,

The reason that I opted for a 3D pie chart is that the legend is often overlapping with the pie chart. It depends a bit on the size of the statistics viewer, but with a 3D pie chart to overlap was often less than with a flat pie charts. That being said, I have added a simple slider to the toolbar of the statistics viewer that allows you to change the angle of the pie chart dynamically.

Cheers, Frank

PS: A partly transparent legend would be nice of course, but unfortunately the underlying widget doesn't support that.
