google_chart

Make charts with Google.

This tag interfaces to the Google chart API to dynamically generate charts.

For example:

{% google_chart type="line" axis={axis position="bottom" labels=["jan","feb","mar"]}
   axis={axis position="left" labels=[0,25,50,75,100]} data=[{data values=[20,80,33]}] %}

Will generate the following image tag:

<img class='google_chart' alt='google chart'
   src='http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?&amp;cht=lc&amp;chts=909090,10&amp;chs=300x150&amp;chg=0,0,1,5&amp;chf=bg,s,ffffff|c,s,ffffff&amp;chdlp=b&amp;chbh=-3,3,7&amp;chxt=x,y&amp;chxl=0:|jan|feb|mar|1:|0|25|50|75|100&amp;chxs=0,909090,10|1,909090,10&amp;chco=&amp;chds=0,100&amp;chd=t:20,80,33&amp;chls=1,1,0'
   width='300' height='150'/>
