the problem with what you suggest, is that the charts wont be able to be 
changed dynamically by the user
embedding a static image, doesnt provide any ability to 
update/correct/alter the content of the chart, from within the wiki, 
which is what wikis are for

is there anything i can do now, to be able to design/create and edit 
flowcharts inside zim ?
