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
