Annotated Time Line Chart Example

<br />
This example report uses the Annotated Time Line Chart visualization from the Google Chart API. This is a Flash-based dynamic chart that data points over time, along with their associated annotated notes. There is a lot of interaction in this chart. You can click on different time periods to display, scroll along the time line, click on a annotated note to jump to a particular data point on the time line, and more. This visualization is the same one Google uses on it's Financial stock quotes page. <br />

The external Google Javascript files are loaded into this BIRT example using Rob Murphy's Dynamic Javascript Loader. This allows the Google Annotated Time Line Chart to be viewed using the Actuate Viewer. More on Rob's excellent loader library and description can be found here:<br />

An included flat file with pivoted data is used as the data source.
