MakeChart for Google Chart API

The last time I talked about Google Chart API. I said Google Charting is very good, ok not so good, but worth a look.
What you may find bad on Google Chart API
  • Images aren't glassy!
  • No animation
  • no tool tip text (when you move your mouse)
Yes that's true, but I have talked also, that I'm going to create an application for Google Chart API. And you know that I'm the man that opens 3 or 4 project every day and all my project are %20 finished.... but don't care!

I made a website nicknamed Make Chart, which will use Google Chart API to create AJAX widgets that makes Charts and also APIs for developers.. and what's that?
I think by making an Ajax widget, every one can include it in his site! Cool, no?
I already finished the Pie Chart widget (%20 :p)
The Pie Chart widget is built with Ajax and so it can be used on every sites with Javascript included.

Here's the first point. Let's move to the next

What if there's animation on Google Chart API? Ok, the simplest idea, is to call from image to image, changing slightly the values, every time I get a picture, it's like doing a film.

Ok, but if I get the picture on 1.6 seconds, so how this animation will be? Ohh, don't retire =) we still have a solution: doing a stream

Yes, downloading all the images on memory with JavaScript then relating between them.

Something crazy....
