Google Charts and Ruby
Tuesday, February 5, 2008 at 7:29PM
I've started playing about with adding some Google Charts to SmarterFitter. Google Charts is a neat API for having Google draw you a pretty picture of your data.
Right now I've settled on this gem: http://gchartrb.rubyforge.org/ but that was simply the best of a fairly immature bunch.
Once gotcha when using Rails 1.2.6 and image_tag is that image_tag will attempt to append a '.png' extension on to the end of the URL that the gem has created for you and that will really mess with your charts.

I am the maintainer for gchartrb. I would appreciate it if you could spare some time and elaborate on what you think needs to be done to make gchartrb more mature.
I have my own list of things, but I would like to prioritise based on what people are looking for in the gem.
Thanks
Mmmmm... I like it!
I hadn't heard of this Google Code addition. Thanks
