When we first started showing off our Trend Animator charts of banking data, everyone liked it a lot. We also heard from folks that they were still waiting for Google to release the code from gapminder, and they were wondering if that was every going to happen.

Well, Google can continue to take their time, because we are turning ours over to the open source community.

The project is here by available on Source Forge as OSG Trend Animator

Feel free to download the code, experiment with it and do good things.

Salute to Nathan Redding who did the coding for this great component.
