I use Pollen to make my [website](https://andregarzia.com). I'm now trying to create more complex documents that require me to add some line graphs. I know that one can insert runtime generated images inside scribble documents but I haven't seen any example of doing a graph inside a pollen document. Anyone has some sample code handy? Thanks in advance.

See an example at [https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen-users/issues/46#issuecomment-622071331](https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen-users/issues/46#issuecomment-622071331)

It's a directed graph diagram, not a line graph. That being said, the principle is the same.

- Convert your graph into a bitmap.

- Save it to a file.

- Create a tag that references the file path.

Also see [https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen-users/issues/46#issuecomment-622139748](https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen-users/issues/46#issuecomment-622139748) if you want to make it a bit more advanced.

FWIW, the Pollen discussion forum is at [https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen-users](https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen-users). I don't know how many Pollen users are in this Discourse.

@sorawee,

Thanks a lot for the help. You've pointed me in the correct direction and I could finally create the [blog post](https://andregarzia.com/2021/12/in-defense-of-the-damage-chart.html) I wanted with charts and other niceties. I documented a bit of the journey in [another post](https://andregarzia.com/2021/12/the-blog-is-the-program.html).
