Hi, Arguably I'm posting in the wrong group, if so I appologize... I've been trying to find the right group.
Here's my visualization problem --- which I think is very common --- I have a meter which takes "point readings" of a resource. In my case, it's my home water meter. It's not hooked up to report frequently, so I have to go out and take a photo of it (my best way to get accuracy in time & reading, as well as a record). I do this whenever I think of it --- sometimes I skip a few days, sometimes I do a few times a day. The water use for our house is really high, and we don't know why. We're starting to think there's a leak. I imagine other people would like to visualize water, gas, electricity use. I have a spreadsheet that calculates, for each data point, the gallons (from cu.ft) and the gallons/day -- for the time period between readings. The default "time line" visualization is quite misleading. By default, it wants to show a value at a time.... but I have a value for a range of time, where the range is different for each sample (I have several day periods with 700 gal/day, and I have shorter periods with 130gal/day). What I'd like is something like a bar graph, where each graph has different widths (based on the amount of time), and the height is the gal/day during that period. Even better if values > 300gal/day were red, < 100gal/day were green, everything in between is yellow...., but that's a bell & whistle) This would allow us to best visualize the data --- is there something happening on different days --- is it "baseline" --- etc etc 1) Are there any default charts that do this? 2) Did someone share a chart like this in the "chart store" (I can't find any decent way to search them) 3) Any opinions for the closest chart to start from, if it hasn't been done before? 4) Any hints / tips if I dive in? I admit I'm being lazy. I've read through the APIs and I know I can spend a day, learn the API, code something up.... but I just want my pretty picture :-) Given this is a really useful visualization, something every home should have, I think Google Charts should have a default chart like this!!! Thanks in advance for any help.... -brian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Chart API" group.
