The charts are rather thoroughly documented (although errors do occasionally 
crop up).  Since you bring up Pie Charts, I'll use them as an example:

Create a DataTable as documented here:
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/reference.html#DataTable

Pie Charts require data to be presented as two columns, as documented here:
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/piechart.html#Data_Format

Pie Chart configuration options are documented here:
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/piechart.html#Configuration_Options

Pie Charts are drawn with the PieChart#draw method, as documented here:
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/piechart.html#Methods

Options are passed to the draw function as an object, documented here:
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/reference.html#visdraw

If all of this isn't clear, there is the visualization playground here:
http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#pie_chart
which allows you to experiment with the API and figure out how all the API's 
components work together.  If that still doesn't help you, then perhaps we 
can offer some assistance.

There are some things that the API cannot do, and AKAIK, making the 
background transparent might be one of them.  Some limitations can be hacked 
around, others cannot (at least, not easily).
