Modern, well presented presentations rely on graphics. Images, charts, and typography assist in illustrating an author's point. We should have the ability to generate charts on the fly - relying on a framework such as D3 may help.

There are several JavaScript charting libraries that describe charts with JSON descriptions.

We'll have to make some sort of function that maps a string of words to valid (and accurate) JSON descriptions. This sounds difficult, but doesn't have to be.

The easy way out is for all graphics to be attached to pre-planned keywords or sequences, and then we just show them when requested.

However, the hard way would be wicked awesome, and I think it's worth a shot, if we can figure it out.
