after the recent acquisition of Trendalyzer & the development of a dedicated chart API, Google now has implemented the "Official Trendalyzer Gadget" for their iGoogle portal.

according to the instructions, the gadget is actually a Flash-based multi-dimensional chart. the first column is item name, the second is time, the third is x-coordinates, the forth is y-coordinates, & the fifth is ball size.

there are now also iGoogle gadgets for pie charts, column charts, bar charts, area charts, image lines, scatter charts, organizational charts, time series.

do any interesting feed implementations of these gadget exist?

Just a heads up, your acquisition link is busted

I have built a full featured graph maker, if anyone is interested

Interesting stuff. Pity it's Flash though. I'll try experimenting with this and post them on my Google gadgets blog.

Sprout (closed beta but pass to 2 friends and they let you in) has a Google graphs builder. You can publish what you build back to other dashboard sites.
