The wiki toolbar allows you to insert templates for graphs, charts and tables via the icons indicated below. You click on the appropriate icon and a template macro is inserted into the page at the cursor, you can further edit the markup directly. The template macro does not list all available chart options. To see all chart options and example markup look in the specific sections below.
