What do you mean "also".. it IS the heart of that particular graphing method.

What I did was change my node-red `settings.js` ...

```auto
    /** When httpAdminRoot is used to move the UI to a different root path, the
     * following property can be used to identify a directory of static content
     * that should be served at http://localhost:1880/.
     */
    httpStatic: '/home/pi/node-red-static/',

```

Create a subfolder in my `node-red-static` folder called `RGraph` and extracted the contents of the downloaded zip file from [Get hold of the RGraph software | RGraph.net](https://www.rgraph.net/download.html#stable) into it.

It is that location of the RGraph library files which the contents of the provided flow utilizes in the embedded paths... (the `/home/pi/node-red-static/` part of the path is already implied by the changes in the `settings.js` file)

The rest of the template contents just make the graph look the way it is, and adjust based on the `msg.payload`... (and set the colour of the text in the `ui_text` node).

That library can make all sorts of interesting looking graphs based on template settings.
