VizGuy Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I didn't phrase my question very well. What I really want to do is put some data into a form that the Motion chart visualization software can display locally without having to put it on any class of a Server i.e. just read it from the file system. I don't have security concerns about it - just convenience for the end user. When I try to access my html file via a browser on my local filesystem I get a security sandbox violation - is that a symptom of why the file has to be installed on a server? My understanding is that this was originally the GapMinder software and I believe that that library could be run entirely locally - is that correct and if so are Google likely to release the software in that form?
