Gauge Gadget

For our new project, we are still working with gadgets but this time around, we are to use advance google visualization tools. The visualization that was delegated to our group is the gauge visualizations. Our first objective for this project is to get a simple gauge visualization working with hardcoded data to be evaluated and then create a gadget based on the that visualization. Other things that we had to do include when creating the gadget is to create a common look and feel for all the gadgets in the iGoogle page. Since we cant change other google gadgets' look, such as gmail, we are basing the look for our gadgets with those look. Prof. Johnson suggested that we install other google gadgets along with our gadgets to create the common look.


Some of the things that we are going to be working on is to decide what of information to use for the gauge. Another would be to fix the problem of overlapping gauges. The overlap occurs whenever the gadget size is adjusted.
