    <ab>The paper concerns the questions of convexity in graphs (defined by means of interval functions). Attention is paid to median graphs. Further polyominoes in a plane (certain unions of congruent squares) and their graphs are studied. The concept of seaweed (which is a generalization of a polyomino) is introduced and studied.</ab>
