Money creation adjustments #49

Closed jugglinmike closed 10 years ago

jugglinmike commented 10 years ago

These changes requested in issue #6.

@stevekinney Is this what you had in mind? If so, I would like to recommend we create a new column in the ledger for the bill slice image, since it no longer strictly visualizes "Required Reserves".

@mzgoddard Code changes are pretty simple, but I'll await your approval before landing this.

Updated UI to display the total money in the system (not just the money created):

Modified bill "slices" in the ledger to visualize the distribution of money created per institution:

@jugglinmike,

For the small bills, I actually think what Bill wanted was something more like this:

0750ce4e-c0ea-11e3-8f8f-6d5191328947

100% of the bill, then 80% of the bill, 64%, etc. (I did that in Photoshop, so my cuts probably aren't at the right place.) This probably makes more sense as a counterpoint to the stacked bars discussed in #6 than the current visualization, which is pretty much the exact same thing.

Got it @stevekinney .

@mzgoddard Looks like I spoke too soon. I'll fix this, rebase, and ping you when ready.

Alright @stevekinney, here's take 2:

@stevekinney The ongoing discussion in #6 notwithstanding, do these changes look correct to you?

stevekinney commented 10 years ago

They look correct to me, @jugglinmike!
