This script allows you to take an existing list of values and represent it as a chart using Google's Chart API. The example here takes a list of visitors per hour and represents it as a bar chart. The simpleEncoding method provided by Google has been converted to LSL script.

Example

<lsl>string simpleEncode(list values, float min, float max) {

   string text = "";
   float range = 244 / (min - max);//4 * 61
   integer index = llGetListLength(values);
   
   while(index)
   {
       integer type = llGetListEntryType(values, --index);
       if(type == TYPE_FLOAT || type == TYPE_INTEGER)
           text = llGetSubString(llIntegerToBase64((integer)(range * (min - llList2Float(values, index)))), 4, 4) + text;
       else
           text = "_" + text;
   }
   return text;

}

string cleanup(float value) {

   string str = (string)value;
   if(value >= 10.0)
       return llGetSubString(str, 0, -8);
   integer i = -1;
   while(llGetSubString(str, i, i) == "0") --i;
   if(llGetSubString(str, i, i) == ".") --i;
   return llGetSubString(str, 0, i);

}

string chartUrl(list values, list captions, integer yDivisions) {

   integer min = llFloor(llListStatistics(LIST_STAT_MIN, values));
   integer max = llCeil(llListStatistics(LIST_STAT_MAX, values));
   string url = "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart"
              + "?chs=200x125"
              + "&chd=s:" + simpleEncode(values, min, max)
              + "&cht=lc"
              + "&chxt=x,y"
              + "&chxl=0:";
   integer i = ~llGetListLength(captions);
   while(++i)
       url += "|" + llEscapeURL(llList2String(captions, i));
   url += "|1:";
   ++yDivisions;
   float range = max - min;
   for(i = 0; i <= yDivisions; ++i)
       url += "|" + cleanup(((i * range) / yDivisions) + min);
   return url;

}

default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSay(0, chartUrl([8,8,3,2,1,5,3,2,2,3,1,4,6,3,4,7,5,6,5,5,4,5,5,6,4], ["4AM", "4PM", "4AM"], 0));
   }
   touch_start(integer total_number)
   {
       llSay(0, chartUrl([8,8,3,2,1,5,3,2,2,3,1,4,6,3,4,7,5,6,5,5,4,5,5,6,4], ["4AM", "4PM", "4AM"], 0));
   }

}</lsl>
