Apoll is a component and module for Jommla 1.5, that displays the vote results as an animated pie chart. (Click here to view the demo). Basically it is an upgrade of the joomla default poll component. Here are some of the enhancements that Apoll has to offer:

Back end enhancements:

• drag and drop reordering of the poll options;
• choose how to display the results - with a pie chart flash graphic or the joomla default way;
• assigns color to each option /works even if you choose to display the results with the joomla default way);
• defining parameters (pie width, pie height, color of slices);
• show background logo or image under the flash pie chart

Front end enhancements:

• view pie results as animated pie chart or as joomla default way;
• view all published polls in a table, with number of options and voters for each one;
• sort the polls by name, voters or number of options

Module enhancements:

• Does not show poll options if you have already voted (according to the lag setting);

Of course the future development of this project will continue. Here are some of the planned /to-be-developed/ features. 

Future enhancements:

• Ajax-based voting module;
