First of all, I apologize for these questions being fairly amateurish. I'm new to the API, and to coding in general really.
What I'm trying to do is create Google Chart versions of Excel sheets which graph various concepts in chemistry. One example is a line chart with three lines taken from three separate columns. Since I have the Excel sheets already, I assume I could transfer them to Google Spreadsheets and pull from them in that way. However, the Excel spreadsheet is interactive, with four sets of buttons to raise/lower variables (one of which affects the equation for all three lines/ columns and the latter three of which each affect a separate column). I've been looking at the examples for Controls/Dashboard and they're all simpler than that; the data is hardcoded in and the dashboard controls which parts of it are shown. What I need is something where the data that's being visualized stems from the user-controlled factors. (In case people are curious, the chart deals with the distribution of the speed of gas molecules (http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Maxwell-Boltzmann_distribution) and the variables are the temperature and the molecular weights) My first question is whether this is possible/practical, and, if so -- since I'm guessing explaining it all might take more space/time than a help forum is good for -- whether you'd recommend any tutorials or resources that might help me learn enough to muddle through this sort of thing. Thanks for your time! Sincerely, Megan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Visualization API" group.
