Jon, <graph> is designed to support template parameter expansions, and I found most convenient to place each graph into a separate template page.

Is there a facility to use this in VE?

we
risk making wikitext even more like code and more difficult for others to edit. Also having it inside the page makes it really difficult to extract/encourage remixing of the data...

#graph
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 <

Project history: Exactly one year ago, Dan Andreescu (milimetric) and
Jon
Robson demoed Vega visualization grammar <

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).
