This entry is simply a test of the Google Chart API. The pie-chart here actually represents the browser usage on this Web site.

There’s obvious use in pulling database queries to build URI strings for visualization via the Web — and for a variety of end-uses. A plug-in for an analytics display page would be just one thought, either here on the site or in the administration panel — and of course there’s interest in the potentials for use in Google Maps or Google Earth.

Charts are easier to embed than I originally thought, actually — it only requires an img tag, with the URI as the image. The code for the chart above, for example, is the following:
