If you looked at the script I pasted in the above, it is different
from Google's "Publish" script when working from google docs. As I
have all of my chart/graph data saved in Google docs, I can just
create the charts in the docs, click publish, copy the code and paste
it into the page - instead of defining each chart/graph as i did in
<head> tags. That way, when "they" (Google viz programmers and
engineers) update the release and add new configuration options (like
strictFirstColumnType), it will be more simple to make changes.
