-## What is Grafana Panel Plugin?
+ **Grafana Chartwerk Panel** renders metrics using ChartWerk libraries. For now, it can render as a line and a series of bars. We are working on adding new visualizations.
 
-Panels are the building blocks of Grafana. They allow you to visualize data in different ways. While Grafana has several types of panels already built-in, you can also build your own panel, to add support for other visualizations.
