Hi all,

first up, I'm not a programmer!  Perhaps I should learn!

My problem is that I have spent sometime decoding ocean wave spectral forecast data, however I wish to show a graphical representation of the data on my Google Site. The data is 3D with time/date one axis, the wave period a second and the energy a third. The data can be displayed on Excel Surface Charts, but this doesn't link to Google Sites. 

I use Google Sheets to do all the processing, so wondered if Google Charts can perform a Surface Chart presentation using coding, or whether I need to go to Python and the graphic libraries (lots of learning required!).

I have attached the Excel Surface Chart for the data in the following Google Sheets - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1909733C97aVkG-Ew8AFiGb-xxZe9tA7yPbA8FG6tlv4/edit?usp=sharing 

Any suggestion on how to proceed?

Thanks

Hi Gordon,

There is no surface chart in Google Charts, nor are there any 3D charts, though I expect we will get around to it eventually.

Hi Daniel,

Would you recommend Python as tool to embed 3D charts into Google Sites?

Thanks
Gordon
