+:!: This plugin used to use the Google Image Chart API. This API has been deprecated for years and finally stopped working in 2024. The plugin now relies on the Open Source [[https://quickchart.io/|QuickChart.io]] service. Old charts should continue to work, but will probably look different.
 ===== Download and Installation =====
 Search and install the plugin using the [[plugin:extension|Extension Manager]]. Refer to [[:Plugins]] on how to install plugins manually.
