Saving a external image as an attachment

Hi:

I am trying to save a Google chart (PNG file) that I am displaying with a formula as an  attachment to my sObject. Its working fine as a HTML file, but I like to save the actual png file instead. Here is what I have:

 

my formula field DemoImage2:

 

IMAGE("http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=250x100&chd=t:60,40&cht=p3&chl=Hello|World", "DemoImage2")

 

apex code:

 

Attachment a = new Attachment(
	parentId = chgCotr.id,
	name=chgCotr.Name+'.html',
	body = Blob.valueof(chgCotr.DemoImage2__c
   );

Database.insert(a);
 



 
 
produces an html attachment with the following markup: 
 
<img src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=250x100&amp;chd=t:60,40&amp;cht=p3&amp;chl=Hello|World" alt="DemoImage2" border="0"/>
 
What I want to save is the source image as png file instead of the <img>markup.
 
How can I get this accomplished?
 
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
