Ideas:

• Work for weight vs age, height vs age, height vs weight, etc etc
• Work against various standards (CDC, WHO, national goverments)

Todos:

• Clarify which chart is which. (and if dataset is for boys and/or girls)
• Smoothly change between charts (How to dynamically add data to a chart)
• Default is to select the last datum; highlight it and show tooltip
• Improved tickmarks
• Labels on the lines, or a legend (%tile, malnourished/severely/normal); color for different lines
• Improve tooltip style... 1, 2, 3

Additions:

• Added metas and values for Head Circumference vs Age 0-5yrs for girls/boys based on WHO standards.
• Added metas and values for Length vs Age 0-5yrs for girls/boys based on WHO Standards.
• Added checks to change Y axis label based on new chart types
• Added checks to change tooltip text based on new chart types
