Is there any way I can add a Chart widget into cells in a celltable?

[Jian Lu]

Basically I have a chart widget created as documented here: http://code.google.com/docreader/#p=gwt-google-apis&s=gwt-google-apis&t=VisualizationGettingStarted

The problem is I need to add this chart into my CellTable, and CellTable doesn't take Widgets.

Is there anyway I can achieve that?

Thanks!

Cells and widgets are 2 different ways to render info on the screen. While the former uses innerHtml, the later uses DOM level manipulations for rendering the data. 

There is a proposal to come up with cell backed widgets, I'm not sure about the implementation roadmap.

refer: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/CellBackedWIdgets for details. 

I'm not sure why you are trying to embed widget in cell table. But if you really have to do it, try image charts (http://code.google.com/apis/chart/image/ ). You can create custom cells for each of the chart type you use and you can embed this into the celltable. 

But you will lose the interactivity though :(

Hope this helps,

Thanks a bunch for pointing to the image charts, which seems quite promising for solving my problem. 

The reason I was trying to add a widget to the cell is I want to embed a chart created by Google Chart Tools into my cell table, and the chart created by Google Chart Tools is in the form of a widget, which will eventually be rendered as an iframe with embeded js. 

I will take a look at the image charts and report back. Thanks!

the image charts fit our needs well, and provides a rich set of parameters to tweek the charts, and it is very simple to integrate. LOVE IT. 

It seems by nature the chart is static (unless I missed something) and is not interactive as the charts in Chart Tools, but we can live with that for now. 

Thanks a lot for pointing me to the Image Charts.
