def graph:
graph = graphdata
return HttpResponse (graph, ‘image/png’)

then in views:

pageview:

Hi James,

In the django book, it gives an example like my first example.

http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/chapter11/

Now, the mistake I made and probably like yourself also, is I then tried to use that code and integrate it into an existing view and then render the image as a part of that view.

The simplest way to get this working is use the above example from the djangobook and then in the template you want the image displayed in, just use html to call the view that displays the image ie:

< img src=”/path/to/img_view” />


I hope that clarifies it.

Hitting the same issue but being a novice to all things Django don’t really understand the solution, how would I go about calling a separate view from the template to bring in the binary image? Cheers
