I should clarify this. ;-) He (the client) insisted that since the
bars and pie wedges were already drawn, being a Cocoa app, they should
automatically be editable. After all, in his mind an individual wedge
or bar was an object. It was drawn, right? Why can't it now be dragged
somewhere?
He failed to specify in his requirements that he expected that to be
the case (expected the graphs to be editable in that pieces can be
dragged around, etc.), therefore he was surprised when a) it didn't
work like that and, b) adding that functionality would add significant
time and expense because it changed the scope and complexity of the
application.
It was not a pleasant meeting.
