Hello,

Google's chart API is new to me. To test it out, I mapped forecasted
temperatures using the javascript function provided to encode the
data. Consider this code segment.

var myImg = "<img src=\"http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?";;
myImg += "chs=450x250&";  // chart size
myImg += "cht=bvg&";  // chart type
myImg += "chco=4D89D9,C6D9FD&"; // chart colors
myImg += "chdl=Low|Hi&"  // chart legend
myImg += "chxt=x,y&chxl=0:|fr|sa|su|mo|tu|we|&"; // axis label
myImg += "chtt=Forcasted|Temporatures|for+New+Haven&"; // chart title

var lowTemp =  new Array(28,23,33,23,35,31);
var hiTemp = new Array (39,38,36,42,39,48);
var maxValue = 60;

myImg += "chd=s:" + simpleEncode(lowTemp,maxValue);
myImg += ",";
myImg += simpleEncode(hiTemp,maxValue);
myImg += "\" /> ";
document.write(myImg);

It almost gets me there but the temperature values do not map
correctly to y-axis label. For example, Friday's low of 28 seems to
map to 47. Strange. Do you see the problem?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

John
