-
-h2. Installing
-
-This project is now hosted at "GitHub":http://github.com
-If you never added "GitHub":http://github.com as a gem source, you will need to do the following:
-<pre syntax="ruby">$ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com/</pre> (you only need to do this once)
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">$ sudo gem install matta-googlecharts</pre>
-
-or <pre syntax="ruby">$ sudo gem install googlecharts</pre>
-
-h2. The basics

-
-<pre syntax="ruby">

-
-A sparkline chart has exactly the same parameters as a line chart. The only difference is that the axes lines are not drawn for sparklines by default.
-
-*bar chart*
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.bar(:data => [300, 100, 30, 200])
-</pre>
-!http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=bvs&chs=300x200&chd=s:9UGo(bars)!
-
-*set the bar chart orientation*
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.bar(:data => [300, 100, 30, 200], :orientation => 'horizontal')
-</pre>
-!http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=bhs&chs=300x200&chd=s:9UGo(bars)!
-
-*multiple bars chart*
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.bar(:data => [[300, 100, 30, 200], [100, 200, 300, 10]])
-</pre>
-
-!http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=bvs&chs=300x200&chd=s:9UGo,Uo9C(stacked multiple bars)!
-
-The problem is that by default the bars are stacked, so we need to set the colors:
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.bar(:data => [[300, 100, 30, 200], [100, 200, 300, 10]], :bar_colors => 'FF0000,00FF00')
-</pre>
-
-If you prefer you can use this other syntax:
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.bar(:data => [[300, 100, 30, 200], [100, 200, 300, 10]], :bar_colors => ['FF0000', '00FF00'])
-</pre>
-
-!http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=bvs&chs=300x200&chd=s:9UGo,Uo9C&chco=FF0000,00FF00(colors)!
-
-The problem now, is that we can't see the first value of the second dataset since it's lower than the first value of the first dataset. Let's unstack the bars:
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.bar( :data => [[300, 100, 30, 200], [100, 200, 300, 10]], 
-              :bar_colors => 'FF0000,00FF00',
-              :stacked => false )
-</pre>
-
-!http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=bvg&chs=300x200&chd=s:9UGo,Uo9C&chco=FF0000,00FF00(grouped bars)!
-
-*bar chart width and spacing*
-
-A bar chart can accept options to set the width of the bars, spacing between bars and spacing between bar groups. To set these, you can either provide a string, array or hash.
-
-The Google API sets these options in the order of width, spacing, and group spacing, with both spacing values being optional. So, if you provide a string or array, provide them in that order:
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.bar(:data => @data, :bar_width_and_spacing => '25,6') # width of 25, spacing of 6
-  Gchart.bar(:data => @data, :bar_width_and_spacing => '25,6,12') # width of 25, spacing of 6, group spacing of 12
-  Gchart.bar(:data => @data, :bar_width_and_spacing => [25,6]) # width of 25, spacing of 6
-  Gchart.bar(:data => @data, :bar_width_and_spacing => 25) # width of 25
-</pre>
-  
-The hash lets you set these values directly, with the Google default values set for any options you don't include:
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.bar(:data => @data, :bar_width_and_spacing => {:width => 19})
-  Gchart.bar(:data => @data, :bar_width_and_spacing => {:spacing => 10, :group_spacing => 12})
-</pre>
-
-
-*pie chart*
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.pie(:data => [20, 35, 45])
-</pre>
-!http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p&chs=300x200&chd=s:bv9(Pie Chart)!
-
-*3D pie chart*
-
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.pie_3d(:data => [20, 35, 45])
-</pre>
-!http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chs=300x200&chd=s:bv9(Pie Chart)!

-

-* the seventh value specifies the area of A intersecting B intersecting C

-*Save the chart as a file*

-</pre>
-
-*Insert as an image tag*
-
-Because, I'm lazy, I also added a custom format:

-*Encoding*
-
-Google Chart API offers "3 types of data encoding":http://code.google.com/apis/chart/#chart_data
-
-  * simple
-  * text
-  * extended
-  
-By default this library uses the simple encoding, if you need a different type of encoding, you can change it really easily:
-
-default / simple: chd=s:9UGoUo9C
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.line( :data => [300, 100, 30, 200, 100, 200, 300, 10] )
-</pre>
-
-extended: chd=e:..VVGZqqVVqq..CI
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.line( :data => [300, 100, 30, 200, 100, 200, 300, 10], :encoding => 'extended' )
-</pre>
-
-text: chd=t:300,100,30,200,100,200,300,10
-<pre syntax="ruby">
-  Gchart.line( :data => [300, 100, 30, 200, 100, 200, 300, 10], :encoding => 'text' )
-</pre> 
-
-(note that the text encoding doesn't use a max value and therefore should be under 100)
-
-*Max value*
-
-Simple and extended encoding support the max value option.
-
-The max value option is a simple way of scaling your graph. The data is converted in chart value with the highest chart value being the highest point on the graph. By default, the calculation is done for you. However you can specify your own maximum or not use a maximum at all.
