In general, learning the structure of the Google API environment is just as valuable as viewing specific examples of code. With the knowledge of how an API application fits within other Google Applications and also HTML, a developer is able to capitalize on the integrated nature of Google products. Furthermore, familiarity with the general Google API structure benefits not only Visualization API application work, but also any other Google API use.
This chapter presented the basic information required to code a simple visualization with the Google API, in particular the Visualization API. Limitations of chart creation that have not yet been addressed are more eloquent data retrieval, interactive abilities, and customized formatting of the charts themselves. So far, relatively little code has been required to create visualizations presentations. This trend continues as the style formatting issue is addressed in the next chapter.
