Hi Sergey, I was using that exact sample code, the pizza example.
I copied the code directly from the website. https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/basic_load_libs <html> <head> <!--Load the AJAX API--> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi";></script> <script type="text/javascript"> // Load the Visualization API and the piechart package. google.load('visualization', '1.0', {'packages':['corechart']}); // Set a callback to run when the Google Visualization API is loaded. google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); // Callback that creates and populates a data table, // instantiates the pie chart, passes in the data and // draws it. function drawChart() { // Create the data table. var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('string', 'Topping'); data.addColumn('number', 'Slices'); data.addRows([ ['Mushrooms', 3], ['Onions', 1], ['Olives', 1], ['Zucchini', 1], ['Pepperoni', 2] ]); // Set chart options var options = {'title':'How Much Pizza I Ate Last Night', 'width':400, 'height':300}; // Instantiate and draw our chart, passing in some options. var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('chart_div')); chart.draw(data, options); } </script> </head> <body> <!--Div that will hold the pie chart--> <div id="chart_div" style="width:400; height:300"></div> </body> </html> I am getting a syntax error here: *google.load('visualization', '1.0', {'packages':['corechart']});* ------------ I am putting this directly into google scripts. Is this wrong?
