How can I insert a chart into a Google Docs document?

Question

I can make charts with the spreadsheet, but is there a way to insert the chart into a Docs document? Is using a static image the best I can do? Are there any online tools where I could copy the same series of numbers and have it do it for me?

Answer 1

You can use the Google Chart Tools. Simply embed an image in your document, with it's src being a call to the chart API, like this:

(the URL in this case is: https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=250x100&chd=t:60,40&cht=p3&chl=Hello|World)
