## Description

Image-Charts lets you visualize data on the fly by connecting it directly to your AI agent. You can turn raw numbers into professional charts, graphs, and QR codes without leaving your conversation. Whether you need a quick bar chart for a status update or a complex radar chart for a performance review, this Connector handles the rendering, colors, and labels for you. It handles the heavy lifting of creating clean, embeddable images so you don't have to deal with graphing libraries or spreadsheet exports. If you're dealing with a massive dataset that would exceed a standard URL limit, it manages the data transfer to ensure you still get a crisp, high-resolution result. You can also generate high-quality QR codes for URLs or contact info instantly. It works as a built-in graphics department for your agent, allowing you to move from raw data to a finished visual in one step. You'll get the final product, like a perfectly formatted PNG or SVG, ready to drop into your reports or presentations. It's one of the many tools available in the Vinkius catalog that turns your agent into a capable data visualization partner for your daily workflow. You can even include animations in your charts using GIF support for a more dynamic presentation.

## Tools

### generate_chart_url
Image-Charts creates a GET URL for standard charts with data under 2KB. Use this for quick, simple visualizations.

### render_chart_post
Image-Charts renders a chart via a POST request and returns a Base64 image. This is the go-to for large datasets.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a huge list of 200 products and their prices. Can you make a scatter plot of price vs. popularity?
```

**Response:** 
```
Since that's a large dataset, I've rendered a high-resolution scatter plot for you. This shows the distribution of your 200 products based on their price points and popularity scores.
