How to Add Graphs to Intropage/Dashboard?

Go to graphs, select graph, click to icon Eye. Graphs will be rendered in SVG format only.

How to add new Panel Libraries and Panels?

Intropage provides a 'panellib' directory where you can create new panels. You simply need to copy one of the existing directories to a new file name, and then ensure that you use 'unique' panel id's and create away. Each panel library file will have a registration function where you define what panels are included in the file and how they gather their data.
