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:** ``` Show me a bar chart of our last 5 months of growth: Jan 10k, Feb 12k, Mar 15k, Apr 18k, May 20k. ``` **Response:** ``` I've created that growth chart for you. Here is the bar chart showing your steady climb from 10k to 20k over the last five months. [Bar Chart Image Rendered] ``` **Prompt:** ``` Create a high-res QR code for our new site, https://example.com, that's 300x300. ``` **Response:** ``` I've generated that QR code for you. It's set to a 300x300 resolution for your marketing materials. [QR Code Image Rendered] ``` **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.

The AI uses `generate_chart_url` to show a pie chart of sales by region immediately. ### Instant marketing QR codes A marketer needs a QR code for a new landing page. The agent creates a 200x200 QR code for the URL instantly. ### Visualizing massive product lists A researcher has a huge list of 200 products and their prices. The AI uses `render_chart_post` to generate a scatter plot of price vs. popularity. ### Prototyping custom radar charts A dev wants to see how a radar chart looks with specific colors. The agent renders a preview with custom hex codes for the axes. ## Benefits - Stop jumping between tabs by generating bar, pie, and line charts directly in your chat.
