- Using The Google Charts API in Your Applications
The Google Charts api is documented at: http://code.google.com(external link). Google Charts is a free Google service that allows you to generate graphs as images by calling a web service. The example below shows how a call is made to the Google Charts service. The service returns binary data in the form of a PNG image. We then load the PNG data into an Alpha Anywhere internal image with the ui_bitmap_png_load() function and finally display the image on an Xdialog.
