You have to bear with me but where does background come from? So I can
use the save() method from the PIL library is that right?
And I can do something like this:
return render_to_response('template.html', {'graph':response})
Where graph is just a variable in my django template (and not <img
src="{{ graph }}" />)
Is that right?
