Google Chart API and Lotus Notes Works Great !
Category Open Source Programming
There have been a few people noting that the Google Chart API works fine in Lotus Notes clients. The catch is to add the "gif" parameter, because the Lotus Notes client doesn't support PNG.
Today, I needed to add some quick and easy charting summaries into a Notes form. It's been awhile since I had to wrangle with formula language, but now I have a slew of nifty line and pie charts. The forms are much, much easier to read.
Some important resources:
There are a couple of caveats: (1) you'll need to be connected to the Internet, as all the computing is done "in the cloud;" (2) there is no off-line storage of the images, after they've been generated, and (3) the Notes client will need to be configured to show pass-thru html.
