Bar, line, stacked and 100% band charts as phone-sized PNGs for chat replies and reports, with Japanese text, 万/億 units and a required unit and source line. Every bar, point, label and tick is read back from the finished figure and compared with the parsed data before the image is returned.

## Good to know before installing

No network calls at run time; reads a local .csv/.tsv/.txt/.json only when given its path (never hidden files or the Hermes home); writes PNGs to the Hermes image cache; a transform_llm_output hook adds a forgotten MEDIA line to replies on chat platforms and cron deliveries (setting auto_attach, on by default).

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install jp-charts
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable jp-charts
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
