Additionally, if you press the "return" key after selecting "Zoom" from the pop-up menu,
the zoom functionality is triggered.  So it appears that only mouse selection from
the pop-up menu is faulty.

I have the pleasure to brief you on our Data Visualization software 
"Trend Compass".

TC is a new concept in viewing statistics and trends in an animated 
way by displaying in one chart 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size & 
Bubble color) instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. Discover 
trends hidden in spreadsheets. It could be used in analysis, 
research, presentation etc. In different business sectors, to name a 
few we have Deutsche Bank, NBC Universal, RIM,  Vanguard 
Institutional Investor, Ipsos, Princeton University as our clients.

You can download a trial version. It has a feature to export 
EXE,PPS,HTML and AVI files. The most impressive is the AVI since you 
can record Audio/Video for the charts you create.

I am using the google motion chart example as is ..... if I switch to bar-chart tab
or line-chart tab ( which come by default ) and switch back to the original tab, the
graph no longer shows correct data.

steps

1. remember the start position of the markers/balls on the chart and hit the play button
on the chart ( let it finish ) https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/motionchart

2.  switch to the bar chart tab, it will do the transition.

3. switch to the line chart tab, it will animate again.

4. now switch back to the first tag ( default ), notice the location of the markers....
the represents faulty data.

Am i missing some thing, is the example given on the page not implementing any recommended
steps ?

vijaydatta, I see what you are saying.  I'm not sure what is going on, but I don't think
it is a serious problem.  When you visit the line chart tab, the axes are time on the
x-axis and expenses on the y-axis.  When you switch back to the bubble chart, it has
forgotten that the x-axis was 'sales', and it selects 'expenses' instead. That is a
bug, but you can select 'sales' again in the dropdown below the axis, and it works
fine. 

I doubt we can fix this problem in the MotionChart, because it is flash-based.  But
the new version we have planned should be much better.
