Re: Charting tool for mixed chart types

[Loyd Goodbar <loyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've gotten the graph working with all the desired features. Using the
Google chart API. Did require some coding for the "extended encoding" used.

http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=600x500&cht=bvs&chco=FFFFFF,CC0000,0033CC,FF9900,0099FF&chbh=a&chxt=x,y&chdl=|Uncommitted|Sales|Committed|Demand&chtt=Sales+vs+forecast,+Dec+2006+in+millions&chxr=1,-2,14&chl=1|4|5|6|7|8|11|12|13|14|15|18|19|20|21|22&chd=e5:CqB5CJB6B6B6B6B6B6B6B6B6B6B6B6B6,FVGFF2GFGFGFGFGFGFGFGFGFGFGFGFGF,DeFJIjLsOiR-VkZeb4eehWjBkql3ooqQ,BCBJA1BuBuBuBuBuBuBuBuBuBuBuBuBu,JnJgJzI7I7I7I7I7I7I7I7I7I7I7I7I7,KbM3PSRuUJWlZAbcd4gTivlKnmqBsdu5&chm=D,FF000088,5,0,2,1|h,FF000088,0,.7329,2,1|h,88888888,0,.1250,1,1


Generates a stacked bar graph, horizontal target line, diagonal target line,
and custom zero-base line. If anyone is interested in the mechanics behind
this graph or sample code to generate the encoding, will post.

Google's documentation is a bit scattered and required some playing to make
it work, but happy with the results.
