Hey just so you're aware there is a functionplot plugin which is somewhat similar to this plugin as well.
I've actually had to do something similar to you before and the way I got around it is to encase the Desmos graph you want as a text string and just render it using dv.span
.
I.e.
```dataviewjs
const a = 3
const graph_str = `\`\`\`desmos-graph
y(x)=${a}*x
\`\`\``
This would allow you to kind of pull in dv variables. Obviously it works the same as an inline query too.
Does this solve your issue?
(Though I for one would also love an api!)
Thank you!! That worked like magic; I should've thought to try things the other way around. It was very simple, since I only really needed to plug in the array. Though this trick also allows me to dynamically alter the format of the data to keep things in view! Once again, thanks!
I'm not entirely sure how feasible this is, but I decided that I should probably bring this up before trying to Frankenstein my own graphing function. I recently stumbled onto a case with DataviewJS where I made an array I wanted to create some visualizations for using Desmos graphs; this plugin seems to be the only actual graphing plugin out there, so far, and I'm familiar with Desmos. I tried to inject that array into the desmos graph through inline JS, but that predictably failed. I tried to use DVJS's plugin access to perhaps try to generate a graph dynamically, but found some major issues in attempting to implement that through the plugin itself (for example, the Graph class is inaccessible, so Graph.parse cannot be used). I suppose if I were to make my suggestion coherent, it would be the creation of some sort of API to allow this sort of idea, though obviously this is not a simple undertaking.
