Geocharts is missing a logScale equivalent. Got a workaround?

[Chris Johnson]

Hi there.

I am using a Geochart to show some impression data by country.  This data is in the range of [0, 296932090].  With only a few countries making up the majority of the distribution, there are only a few countries that show any color, while the rest show the datalessRegionColor.  As such, I thought using a log scale would be a good solution.

Is this functionality planned, or is there a workaround you can suggest?

Thanks!

You can try manually log scaling your data; the legend values will not be accurate, so you should probably hide it, but it should work otherwise.  Here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/asgallant/yMgSx/

This is what I ended up doing, although using the ChartWrapper was a helpful suggestion, so thank you.

Nonetheless, I feel that this is something that should be supported directly by the Geochart API.

So... feature request?
