Graph to vector
I'm requesting a feature I'm calling Graph to Vector. The idea would be to use the data in a graph and use the AI capabilities to generate a vector based on that data.
For instance, if you had a graph representing how you spent your budget this past year with 5 different categories divided by percentages, you could take the colors used to represent the percentages and make a vector with those same colors in those same percentages. If 20% of the budget was represented by blue, then 20% of the vector could be blue.
It would be a totally new way of representing data in a more visually appealing way. The applications for this would be amazing! Annual reports, magazine ads, slideshows, videos, etc... The possibilities are endless! Gamechanger.

I see what you mean now, thanks for the clarification!
Am I right thinking you are more about presenting a graph with artistic means, rather than controlling a generation with percentage values for things to be used in it? Since the workflow you describe fits both :)
Interesting. Let’s see if it gets more attention. -
Egor,
I am definitely aware of the graph tools. I use them. If you pay attention to the content of my suggestion, I'm requesting to take the current graph tools and connect them to the AI vector generator. There is currently a beta "text to vector" and what I am suggesting is a "graph to vector". I'm not looking for a vector of a graph (that already exists in the graph tools), I am suggesting that once a graph is made and colors are chosen etc... that AI could make a pattern, subject, landscape, etc... utilizing the data in the graph.i.e. - You create a graph (let's say pie chart) and there are 5 categories with 5 colors representing the categories and their respective percentages in the chart: 45% blue, 25% yellow, 15% red, 10% green, and 5% pink. With that graph selected, you would then select which type of AI generated vector you want. Let's say landscape for our purpose. You would then describe with text the image you're looking for (as you do in "text to vector" currently) but the AI also takes into account the percentages of the colors within the graph and uses those colors in their respective percentages to generate a vector image.
That way you could present a graph as an image instead of just a graph.

Illustrator has a dedicated set of Graph tools (available in the Advanced toolbar you can access with 'Window > Toolbars > Advanced' command).
These are not the most modern tools, and hardly refactored since late 90-s, but these are somewhat useful for the task you have.
Not sure if you are aware of these... If you are — please comment back and elaborate on the changes you want to have.And then there is a larger user request to modernize the toolset you can upvote here: illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/31150012-improve-graph-chart-tool
