Hello again, I actually have another request. It is possible to use the Google Motion Chart as a highly sophisticated bubble chart by setting the data to span just one date, a placeholder, meaningless date. This is really useful.
But with one downside: the one single date appears beneath the x-axis, and if the date is purely a placeholder, then it's quite an eyesore - and one has to put up supporting copy explaining that the date is actually meaningless. So it would also be useful to configure the Google Motion Chart such that the dates/time, if there is only one date, is not shown beneath the x-axis.
