Charting with Google’s new API

Many members of the NetworthIQ community have expressed an interest in more and more flexible charting options. This week saw the release of two new charting apis from Google and Yahoo. I’ve been playing with the Google one this afternoon and came up with pie chart examples for asset type break down:

Asset Breakdown

Liability Breakdown

What do you think? The percentage charts are pretty easy, but the way they encode the data makes the Net worth trend chart more interesting. I invite anybody to take these apis for a test drive with your own net worth data, the Comparison chart data, or maybe the aggregate net worth statistics. We’ll see what we can work into the site.
