There have been discussions about how to incorporate graphics, which have failed to come to any consensus. Nobody is particularly willing to put a badly-formatted batch of raw numbers into git though, because it'd be impossible to do any incremental updates on it and still have useful git history. There are also a bunch of questions about whether the graphics would work in all the output formats we try to support. This particular example doesn't really seem compelling enough to justify finding a way over those hurdles ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
