Project GoalThe goal of this project is to create a Gadget, using Google Visualizations, to display spreadsheet data in a visual form (as a stoplight). Since creating this gadget requires that we write code for the gadget and visualization, we hope to eventually have the stoplight visualization code added to the Google Visualization API for everyone to use. This stoplight gadget is mainly for people who have a data source that is constantly changing. Current VersionOur current version of the stoplight gadget requires a user the enter a minimum threshold value to display a red light and a maximum threshold value to display a green light and to input their own data source that they would like to have visualized. For example, a user could set the gadget to look at a URL that contains data of the current wave heights. The user would set the red light and green light thresholds, depending on his or her preferences, then the gadget will display a red, green, or yellow light depending on the wave height data. If they set their red light threshold to 20 and their green light threshold to 10, any data source value above 20 will display a red stoplight, any value below 10 will display a green light and anything in between will display a yellow light. Current Gadget (version 1.7):
