Great job folks! Are there any chances the categories (for example in your pie chart) may be hotlinked to something else (for example to 'drill down' into the data)
Also, since AFAIK you folks now own gapminders, is there a chance for future work to go a little bit in that direction? (to Ben - if you haven't seen this check out the TED videos - great examples of multidimensional data made comprehensible and actionable)
Great job, I already spent way too much time playing around ;) I might be missing the point, but is there any way of mixing types of graphs in one view?
Wow! This is simply super. I'm sure google will enable us to use hotspots in charts so we could hot link. I have coded a Simple Web Gui to create the URL for google charts. You are wellcome to use it if needed.
Google has released an open web API that provides a drop-dead simple means of adding graphs and charts to web pages. I really do find their implementation to be extremely elegant and powerful. Here are some sample charts and their usage urls. Good stuff... (Pingback)
Sounds great!It would be even better if Google could provide us with a simple project management tool and compliment it with AIP charts. Right now I'm using Wrike for my projects and it would be really great if Google could offer us something like that.
Cool tool - will save a lot of people a lot of work.
Any thoughts on how to handle very long axis labels? The examples are for Jan, Feb, Mar etc but if there are much longer labels they end up running into each other.
hey Guy's, No time for charting then chk this out create your own charts on visifire and take my word it will be done in a couple of minuets.unbelievable right . then go chk out offered under open source powered by silverlight 2 beta 2 just for free
I found that the chart api works fine with a relatively simple url fpr QRs but when you try to feed it something like: ...com/showcaseproductdetail.htm?ID=157729&Used=1& it will not encode the whole address resulting in the wrong qr code. Rather than attempt to convert the longer url’s to UTF-8 I was wondering if anyone had a relatively simple solution to use the google url shortener within a script like the one below (preferrably not the .qr option in the shortener as it defaults to a size too small for print). ----------
This is quite a nice to have!
ReplyDeleteGood job guys keep it coming !
I've been trying to figure out the http variables that you use on Google Video for some time for my script!
ReplyDeleteThis API should prove really useful! :D
This looks like a wonderful API, and you should be really proud at the work you have put in it.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'm concerned that users of this API might be too quick to make overly simplistic charts.
Check out Edward Tufte for his thoughts on graphical displays of quantitative data.
NOTE: this is *not* a knock on the tool. Just a reference to more information for future users.
Looks good but is there any reason why you wouldn't include some Alt attributes to that? since the data is there?
ReplyDeleteSimple is good. I like. Lots.
ReplyDelete有辦法支援中文嗎？
ReplyDeletesupport chinese？
Brilliant! I was just looking this morning for an easy way to do sparklines on my website. I think this is it.
ReplyDeleteCool. It’s really useful tool. I'll use it in my web based projects. Thanks to Google again.
ReplyDeleteWow, great job.
ReplyDeleteCan you detail the limitations? "50,000 queries / user / day" means 50,000 queries / IP / day or 50,000 queries / site / day or something else?
ReplyDeleteGreat job folks!

this is great. this is the simplest tool to generate sites! just plug-in to the image tag!
ReplyDelete真的是太酷了！！

Hi,with all the vital role of open source software, where can I find the source code of the following google APIs?
ReplyDelete--- Google Chart API
--- Google Analytics
Thank you in advance,
Alfred.
I'm going to name my first-born "Google" or "Googlette".
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Chad

ReplyDeleteHi, Is there anyway to show the stock chart like the one in finance.google.com?
ReplyDeleteBasically, how to embed the google finance chart?
It's been about a year since the Google Chart API was launched. I was surprised it didn't have a Wikipedia article, so I started one for it here...
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chart_API
Feel free to add to it.
Google chart is great and simple. For advanced visualization charts, also check out style chart. The examples are fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThis simple programm can generate javascript code
