Preferences allow the users to make some decisions about how the application behaves and looks like.
A new window for "Preferences" would be very useful and it could contain:

• Date format options;
• User's name for report or customizations;
• Language;
• Clear all fields after saving or not;
• Default date when opened (today, tomorrow, etc);

Visual reports are easier to understand and to check trends in the results.

There may be some different options to generate the graphs, like piecharts for intensity percentage, plots by timeframe and bars for intensity amounts.
All this should start with the task below:

• add a button to generate graphs of the filtered result with mathPlotLib

Then to create the proper graph window settings/configuration:

• create a new window for graphs generations from the filtered report results

It should use matplotlib to achieve this, not necessary to program graphs from scratch.

It would be very useful to have 3 new data to the daily reports:

• migraine: one should mark this flag before saving if felt that it was not only a headache but a migraine crisis;

• medicine: one should mark this flag if some medicine was taken to alleviate the pain

• comment: a free text field to write any concerns about a specific day

• Add a flag 'migraine' to the saved results, database structure will be affected

• Add a flag 'medicine' to report if the user has taken medicine to alleviate a headache

• Add a field 'comment' to report any specific situation on the day

• Include results for 'migraine', 'medicine' and 'comment' to the report list and generated TXT file

❗ the database structure will be changed to include these 3 new fields.

The spinbox controls are not easily handled by unprecise hands.
Navigation could be improved with the suggested topics below:

• Add 2 buttons, one to go straight to yesterday and another one for today
• Add 2 buttons, one to increment one day and another to decrease one day
• Add key bindings to go to previous/next day, it could be the keyboard arrows

The current solution allows only to write once per day and definitive.
To have a maintenance window would be very useful if incorrect data is set.
The same could be achieved by changing the main windows to allow overwrites of the data, but then it may lead to incorrect overwrites, so to keep the maintenance in a separated area brings some extra security.

A menu would facilitate and extend access to more complex activities.
Examples to be added:

• File:
• Quit
• Edit:
• Maintenance
• Preferences
• Report
• Help:
• About
• Documentation
