Datawrapper oEmbed Plugin
Registers Datawrapper as oEmbed provider so charts, maps, and tables created with Datawrapper can be embedded in WordPress.

Datawrapper is free to use, so you can create and publish unlimited visualizationas, download them as PNGs and collaborate in teams. The paid plan is the right choice if you need a custom design, or PDF and SVG export.

There are a few advantages:
* Datawrapper visualizations are responsive – images are not. “Responsive” means that the visualization adjusts to the size of your device. You can look at a Datawrapper chart, map or table on a small mobile phone or on a big laptop screen – in any case, text elements like axis labels or descriptions will be nicely readable.
* Your readers can hover over elements e.g. in your maps or line charts to see the underlying values.
* In Datawrapper visualizations, you can link to a data source or let users download the data with a click. Both wouldn’t be possible with an image.
