Use the Google Chart API to create charts for your web applications

With the Google Chart API you can build a URL that will dynamically create a chart for you. This service is used internally for Google Finance, Google Video, and beyond. Now, anyone can use it!

Although it is simple to use (just a darn URL after all) you will see that there are many options.

Here is just a few charts to show how broad this is:
