Chart with No Controls in a Dashboard

[Josiah]

I want to have two charts that are a part of a dashboard, but I only
want one of them to have controls. It seems that charts that are a
part of a dashboard will not render unless I bind them to a control.
Is there any way to have a chart without controls other than creating
it separately from the dashboard? Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas? Another issue that I'm running into is if I
create charts separate from a dashboard, I can't pick and choose which
DataTable columns to display in the chart.

The dashboards are still in development, and are not feature-complete (AFAIK).

If you want to draw two charts off of a single data source the "old" way, use dataViews: http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/reference.html#DataView

If one of the two charts is not dependent on any control, can't you just feed it the entire datatable you'd otherwise give to the dashboard? Like:

var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();

// fill data

// Dependent chart

var chart1 = new google.visualization.ChartWrapper({ });

var control1 = new google.visualization.ControlWrapper({ });

// 'free' chart

var chart2 = new google.visualization.ChartWrapper({ });

// Draw the dashboard

new google.visualization.Dashboard().bind(control1, chart1).draw(data);

chart2.setDataTable(data).draw();

As asgallant says, you'd still be able to use DataViews ( or chartwrapper 'view' parameter ) to manipulate column selection.
