Things You Can Do With Your Graphs

• Web page authors can embed a graph of the latest data in a web page using HTML <img> tags.
• Anyone can use Slide Sorter to build a personal web page that displays graphs of the latest data, each in its own, draggable slide.
• Anyone can use or make Google Gadgets to display images with the latest data on their iGoogle home page.
