Problem Statement
From a SharePoint End User's perspective, it's hard trying to figure out the best ways to expose information through graphics in SharePoint. SharePoint lists didn't offer color coding and other visualization effects. Sure, you can use Excel Services and KPIs if you've spent the big bucks for the Enterprise version to do a little graphic enhancement, but what about those of us who still need more complex visualization capabilities?
