Notes
The important bits of code are:
1) Using TeeChart and node-canvas modules:
var tee = require('./lib/teechart.js'),
Canvas = require('./node-canvas/lib/canvas.js');2) Creating a Tee.Chart, passing the canvas:
var canvas = new Canvas(500,300),
chart = new tee.Tee.Chart(canvas);3) Manually specifying chart size (this step should not be mandatory in future releases) :
chart.bounds.set(0,0,500,300);4) Add chart series, data, change formatting, etc, and DRAW:
chart.title.text="Node.js and TeeChart";
chart.addSeries(new tee.Tee.Bar([5,3,7,1,2]));
chart.draw();5) Return the chart as image, or save it to a file, etc (Check node-canvas documentation for more options)
