We noticed that with a large amount of data (e.g. over 2200 lines of Excel comma-separated value data from say each day from January 22 thru July 22 and say greater than 20 states) the building of a grouped motion chart would not complete. Thus we broke the data down by either reducing the number of states (e.g. by selection states based on their population range)or reducing the number of days (e.g. by only including every 5th day).

The line graphs often use a logarithmic y-axis in order to spread the data out. Ideally, when the points are plotted in a log scale the y-axis would be labeled linearly. In other words, labeling the plots 1, 10, 100, etc., instead of 1, 2, 3, and also do this for the hover detail on the points. Right now, when one hovers over a point it gives the log base10 of the value rather than the value.
The problem is I can't find a way for the web based charting app I am using (www.charte.ca) to provide a Log axis when using line graphs (www.charte.ca does provide such a feature for the motion charts). Thus the only way round I have found is to take the log10 before giving the data to the chart. Also there does not appear to be a place to ask questions of the www.charte.ca people. Changing over to using a different charting /presentation package would be a non-trivial reordering of the data to fit the charting package. I am open to suggestions.
