Stephen Few designed the Bullet Graph as a way to display measurements vs. goals/other benchmarks or as a comparison of benchmarks. The screenshots below shows the bullet chart build by Few’s specifications in R based on the grid-package:

After implementing following features and some bugfixing the code can be downloaded for a small fee:

  • Comparison of current measure to a future target
  • Some alternative designs as displaying negative and positive values reversed background filling, and reversing of colour and scale
  • More than three ranges
  • Comparative measures

We will send a newsletter after finalizing the code.
