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

Other Growth charts:

• OpenMRS Growth Chart module
• CDC, CDC Pdf
  • page 138, table 9 (weight vs age, birth to 36 months)
  • page 143, table 14 (weight vs age, 2 to 20 years)
