On the Code Examples there's some examples of how to make some
interactivity with the charts.
The Gauge sample (
http://code.google.com/intl/pt-BR/apis/visualization/documentation/examples.html#gauge_example
) shows how to add a button that calls a JavaScript to change a value
on the code.
Couldn't you use something like a global variable:
var pos = "center";
Then you set the position with it on the chart:
position = pos;
And on the button you could call a JavaScript function that changes
this value:
function changeValue(){
pos = "relative"
}
Well, this is just an idea, it might work!
Hope that I've helped some way!
