The Free GeoTools blog describes GE-Graph, a free (Windows-only) tool to add beautiful graphs in GoogleEarth (numerous screenshots). Some of the features from the official website: "# Make Bars graph
# Make graph with geometrical shapes (circles, squares, triangles, etc).
# Set the shape size according to each placemark value
# Also set the shape color according to a placemark value
# Graph's title and color scale as GE screen overlays
# Different choice of label content (place name and/or value)
# Different color scales to be chosen
# Paste files from other applications (Word, Excel, Access,...)
# Export data to Excel
# Sort and filter placemark data (coordinates, names and value)-not for shape files
# Save file as kmz("

Using OGR to Visualize Data
[+]
Spatially Adjusted late in December discussed a simple yet revealing example of using OGR to visualize data. From SA: "Take GDAL/OGR for example, the webpage probably scares off most users because of the lack of examples of how to use both toolsets. But the tools themselves are so easy to use this shouldn’t scare anyone off. [...] That said Tom Kralidis has a great example of using OGR to convert a Microsoft Excel file to KML. GDAL/OGR is integral to so many GIS applications (even ESRI uses it) that any GIS professional should have at least a basic understanding to how it works."
GDAL/OGR 1.5.0 was released late last year and see also this story when OpenLayers revealed itself as a data converter and an example of using a one OGR command to publish a point shapefile to html.
