My attempt at implementing a better time series charting library, based on d3.js

## Motivations and Design Ideas

I learned a lot from my experience working on NVD3. I wanted to take the lessons

learned from that project to build a better charting library.

Here are some guidelines I'd like to apply to this library:

*   Better data cleanup. Having the library take care of filling in missing points.

*   For large datasets, charts should reduce resolution of the lines for performance gain.

*   Better margin auto adjusting.

*   Easier ability to integrate different chart types into the same plot (line, area, scatter, bars)

*   Easier ability to add horizontal and vertical line markers.

*   Adding and removing data points in real time should be seamless.

*   Ability to use data generators (so you can write functions like y=x^2).

*   Removal of the chart legend, with hooks to enable series'. Allows developer to create their own legend.

*   Provide an AngularJS and React.js companion library.

*   No need to create your own SVG tag. Library creates it for you and sizes it to the container.

*   Code is tested and linted properly. Written in CoffeeScript.

## Development

To build the project, run the following

    npm install

    npm test
