Aleksey, please file a bug report in phabricator with the URL to the page containing your non-working graph - I have to look at your graph before figuring out why it is not working.
Bawolff, very cool API usage! I just wish we allowed api from inside lua -- so much creative stuff could be done!

Graph tag support template parameter expansion. There is also a Graphoid service to convert graphs into images. Currently, Graphoid is used in
case
the browser does not support modern JavaScript, but I plan to use it for all anonymous users - downloading large JS code needed to render graphs
is
significantly slower than showing an image.
Potential future growth (developers needed!):
- Documentation and better tutorials
- Visualize as you type - show changes in graph while editing its code
- Visual Editor's plugin
- Animation <https://github.com/trifacta/vega/wiki/Interaction-Scenarios

usage in MediaWiki. The project stayed dormant for almost half a year, until Zero team decided it was a good solution to do on-wiki graphs. The project was rewritten, and gained many new features, such as template parameters. Yet, doing graphs just for Zero portal seemed silly. Wider audience meant that we now had to support older browsers, thus Graphoid service was born.
This project could not have happened without the help from Dan Andreescu, Brion Vibber, Timo Tijhof, Chris Steipp, Max Semenik, Marko Obrovac, Alexandros Kosiaris, Jon Robson, Gabriel Wicke, and others who have
helped
me develop, test, instrument, and deploy Graph extension and Graphoid service. I also would like to thank the Vega team for making this amazing library.

Hmm cool.
One of the interesting things, is you can use the API as a data source. For example, here is a pie graph of how images on commons needing categories are divided up
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Sandbox&oldid=15... (One could even make that more general and have a template, which given a cat name, would give a pie graph of how the subcategories are divided in terms of number).
