Google Charts API

Google just announced a brand new service that makes it really easy to make charts for use on the web. Take a look at the source for this image:
Nympha download.google.com/chart?cht=v&chd=t:80,149,50,10,25,20,5&chs=400×300&chl=haydar%7Cwill%7Cjohn”>

To generate that chart, I just created an image, <img src=”http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=v&chd=t:80,149,50,10,25,20,5&chs=400×300&chl=haydar|will|john”>
All of the details for creating the chart are all in the URL. You just have to include chart type you want, the size of of the chart and the data to be displayed. Really easy.

I am excited to use this on CastRoller and any Maplesoft projects that I’ll be working on in the future.
