Very basic question

[Philipp Alexander Asbrand-Eickhoff]

Hey guys!

I only have very limited web-design experiences, but for a project I need to include ineractive charts like these.

1. From what I have gathered, this is possible with the Google Visualization API - correct?

2. Would you say that it is possible to do this without too much previous knowledge or should I seek professional assistance?

3. The data would be updated ever 3 months; is it possible to feed a data bank into the source code?

These are probably rather silly questions for you, but try to remember the way you guys got your first experiences programming ;)

Best regards from Germany and thanks in advance!!!

Alexander

Hi Alexander,

1. It depends on what you're talking about. We don't support 3D charts like the one on that page, but our dashboards do support the type of connectivity that you appear to be looking for.

2. It really depends on your capabilities and capacity to understand new concepts. In my opinion, Google Charts is one of the easier charts libraries to use, especially when compared against something as code-heavy as D3. However, I haven't played around with some of the other chart libraries available, so I can't speak to whether they'll be easier to use or not.

3. Yes. In fact, you can use a Google Sheet to keep your data.

Hope this helps!
