Hi!

I want to use Google Chart Tools for my bachelor thesis, but there are a 
few points in the Terms of Service that might change my decision. 

My bachelor thesis is about learning-algorithm. I am going to implement 
some basic algos like backpropagation (neural network) or 
k-nearest-neighbour (classification). The other part of this is creating a 
website for students where they can take a look at these algorithms. I want 
to create some interactive graphs to show differences between algorithms or 
to illustrate over-fitting/over-training. 

So I have a few questions about the Terms of Service:

*Google will announce if we intend to discontinue or make backwards 
incompatible changes to this API or Service.*
Does this mean it is possible that from one day to another not a single 
chart will work on the website?

*API Limitations: 

Google may set limits on the number of API requests that you can make, at 
its sole discretion. You agree to such limitations and will not attempt to 
circumvent such limitations.
**
*
How high is that limit? What if there are 200 students that come to that 
website and there are around 20 graphs on it wich are loaded severaltimes 
by each student? Would that reach that limit or are we talking about a few 
ten-thousand calls here?


*And the Mother of all questions:*

Could anyone tell my if it would be a good idead using Google Chart Tools? 
There are a few other libraries out there which are quite powerful and 
would meet my requirements but they are more difficult to use. Since I 
don't want to spend a lot of additional time understanding a 
framework/library while I should implement learning algorithms and work out 
good examples for students Google Chart Tools would be awesome to use.



Please give me some advice on this one..

Any suggestions are welcome!


Best regards,
Stefan.
