Google Chart

Google charts allow charting data, which is entered into the element, in one of several ways.

Google chart elements consist of dataset elements and data point elements, which describe the data of the chart. These sub-elements are fed into the chart, and are not visible at run-time.

To insert a Google chart element, use Interactions > Mashups > Google Chart.

To insert a Google map chart, use Interactions > Mashups > Google Map Chart.

See Google’s list of supported country codes, and of supported state codes for the USA.
