Re: Animation, 3D, and $ sign on y-axis

[asgallant]

To answer in order:

1) This is doable, but involves a bit of hackery.  You have to draw the chart with a fake data set that is invisible, and set up a "ready" event handler that draws the chart with the real data set immediately after.  See this thread for a demo and more info.
2) 3d columns are not supported.

3) Set the vAxis.format option to "$#,###" (or some other variant of the ICU decimal pattern set).

4) Set the vAxis.gridlines.count to change the number of horizontal gridlines, which determines how many increments there are.  The API rounds up the larger of the maximum value in the chart or vAxis.maxValue to the next number which creates "nice" increments (and if that sounds vague, it's because we don't know exactly what the algorithm does).

Hi everyone,

I've gone through the Chart Wizard and created a chart that I'm happy with, but was thinking it would be cool to add some features that I'm not sure how to do.  I would like to add the following:

1) When the chart loads, the columns rise to the proper levels.
2) Make the columns 3D?
3) Place a dollar($) on the increments of the y-Axis.
4) How do I change the increments on the y-Axis?

If anyone has answers to any of these questions, I would greatly appreciate it.  My chart is working properly, but I thought these would give it some "eye candy".  I've attached my current file to this posting, so you can see where I'm going with this.
