Dear Bart, as you maybe can see from the example on this page, we have encountered a similar problem. The embedded graph doesn’t load in several browsers at the moment. We are investigating it.

We have used the Google motion chart for some time now on our website, but unfortunately it sometimes does not work. It seems to be a Google-problem.

At the moment, it does work with Mozilla, but not with IE. It is unfortunate, since the application is excellent, but (at the moment) really not stable enough to be taken seriously….

Kind regards,
Bart Loman, CIDIN

I am sorry but I don’t know if that is possible to do, check att google. On this link there is more information about teh Motion Chart API: http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/motionchart.html

Thats kind of advanced though. One easier way to add a moving graph into a PPT would be to make a screen capture software of some kind and record the motion you create with Motion Chart and then import that movie-file into Power Point.

However it seems much easier to just have two presentations open next to each other, one PPT and then in another window your Motion Chart or Gapminder-graph and then just switch between the two. Thats how I do it when I lecture.

[...] I used the Google Motion gadget to create the chart below. Note: I had technical issues embedding the working chart, so I just inserted a screen shot instead. The chart actually moves, unfortunately my picture of it does not. [...]

Althea you could look for GeoAccess software for mapping if the other recommendation doesn’t work for you. Good luck.
