The "old" imagechart has one key advantage. It allows creating column charts with ranges for colors. This is quite effective for a variety of reasons, but showing as much data as we do in a chart, color is one of the most effective tools of communication.
https://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#image_multicolor_bar_chart I've added this chart to my working example, but it has a number of limitations such as having zero interaction. Being able to set a range of value to assign color to a column chart is exactly what I'm looking for. The biggest drawback to google charts in my experience has been title positioning and colors. I've attached a couple examples so you can see what my application is using the same dataset. It's a no brainer to me that a colored imagechart is more effective than having an interactive chart. Because it's deprecated, will this support be added to ColumnChart or am I missing something?
