.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
Chart is a collection of modules for visualizing numerical data.
It is designed for: (in that order) maximal flexibility, feature richness
and minimal dependencies. It can write PNG and JPG images into files and
STDOUT (for web and shell usage).

The early API is mostly borrowed from Martien Verbruggen's GIFgraph module.

.SH "FUTURE CHANGES"
.IX Header "FUTURE CHANGES"
Much of what is documented here will be superseded by a new API provided
by upcoming version 3.0. The old API will be discouraged but not deprecated,
except maybe the module Chart::Composite and some properties.
The new API will aply only to objects created by Chart\->new(...);
