\title{Brownian Motion using Google Visualization API}
\usage{
g.brownian.motion(
p = 20,
start = 1900,
digits = 14,
file = "index.html",
width = 800,
height = 600
)
}
\arguments{
\item{p}{number of points}
\item{start}{start ``year''; it has no practical meaning in this animation
but it's the required by the Google gadget}
\item{digits}{the precision to round the numbers}
\item{file}{the HTML filename}
\item{width, height}{width and height of the animation}
}
\value{
\code{NULL}. An HTML page will be opened as the side effect.
}
\description{
We can use R to generate random numbers from the Normal distribution and
write them into an HTML document, then the Google Visualization gadget
``motionchart'' will prepare the animation for us (a Flash animation with
several buttons).
}
\note{
The number of frames is controlled by \code{ani.options('nmax')} as
usual.
Due to the ``security settings'' of Adobe Flash player, you might not be
able to view the generated Flash animation locally, i.e. using an address
like \samp{file:///C:/Temp/index.html}. In this case, you can upload the
HTML file to a web server and use the http address to view the Flash file.

if (interactive()) g.brownian.motion(15, digits = 2, width = 600, height = 500,
