Google’s New API Generates Charts on the Fly
Discovered this interesting bit of news on LifeHacker today that announces a new Google API which generates graphic charts on the fly by editing variables in a unique URL. This could potentially be a valuable time saver for bloggers and developers. Graphic charts are a great way to make your blog posts more visually appeasing and display data in a user friendly format. I can easily see myself using this tool in future blog posts.
Below are two pie chart examples of DotSauce Poll Questions. These only took me a few minutes to whip up.

Read Google Blogoscope’s article here for a quick tutorial on how to edit the variables and generate various chart types.
