Can google visualization calls be made without having rails set up? about google_visualr HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes. It is possible. The only integration with Rails is the view helper
which just calls chart.to_js. Everything else is just Ruby code.

You will have to write your own Ruby method to pop open a browser and load
the chart though as the gem does not have that functionality.

Hope this helps!

I have some data in a Ruby program that I'd to quickly view formatted in a

plugin for R. Basically, I call a method on an R dataset and it pops open a
browser tab with the table displayed. I'd love to be able to reproduce some
of that functionality in a Ruby app.

Is there any way to use this gem to run a ruby command and have it pop
open a browser tab with the data table/chart without having rails?

Nevermind. Think I got something figured out using this and Launchy(https://github.com/copiousfreetime/launchy).

This is going to be awesome. Thank you!
