No Graphs in Perspectives

I only just noticed this. Da.
In the browser, a view can be viewed as a table, a graph or both.
There seems to be no graphing of views in Perspectives. I know, I could build a graph in an Excel active form, but this is more work than the quick and easy option on the browser.

The reason this came up, I had a private view that I saved as a graph. But when I published it to a public view, it went back to being a table.
I'm writing a process so that non admin users can publish their views, so long as they are prefixed with their division name. (The process is based on a Bedrock utility.)
But when a nonadmin published their private graph, it becomes a public table, and they don't have the rights to change the public view back into a graph. Snookered. :cry:

Is this just a general moan or do you have a problem that needs solving??? If it's a problem then your doomed!!! If your generally having a moan then oh well. Perspectives has never had graphs. I don't think it ever will have. Either way your doomed!!!

Sorry for the bad news!! :D

Yes, basically I'm just moaning. Having the graph in Perspectives isn't necessary.
But given that it does exist on the browser, it is a shame that the publishing process wipes it out.

Any idea where the parameter lives for the web that says: table, graph or both?
If said parameter could be diddled by a process, I could keep using the micky mouse graph on the browser.
