That's it - no state, no calls, just send your data in an http
request and get a png image graph back. Embed the request in an img tag and you're done. We
currently support line charts, bar charts, pie charts, scatter plots, and sparklines.
We actually built this originally to use internally - we use it on Google Video and Google Finance for example. It seemed like it
would be a good thing to open up to other users too. You can find out all about it at on the
Google Chart API homepage and
there's a Google Chart API
group for questions and support.
The Google Chart API started
out as a 20% time project here in Zurich, and we're really happy to be launching it to the
world today. Let the charting begin!
