Looks good! One feature that would definitely get me using this for personal projects is the ability to add&#x2F;customise axis. You might already have this, but I didn&#x27;t see it in any of your examples, so if this is present, please advertise it!<p>My general reaction when seeing a chart without axis is &quot;pretty, but I can&#x27;t see what it means&quot;, where as with decent labelled axis I can dig into it and look at data points, and come to my own conclusions about the data.<p>Still, this is a useful service that could make life much easier - keep at it!

This is neat. Was looking for something like this for Xmysql[1] - which has a CHART API to fetch &#x27;numeric column distribution&#x27; in MySql table. The data from Xmysql-chart-api[2] can then be fed to this. Will give it a try over weekend.<p>[1] : <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;o1lab&#x2F;xmysql" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;o1lab&#x2F;xmysql</a> [2] : <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;o1lab&#x2F;xmysql#chart" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;o1lab&#x2F;xmysql#chart</a>

Will this work in emails?<p>If I put this URL in img tag in a html email, the clients and browsers (if they are configured to allow external images) will this show up?

An interesting addition could be a semicircle pie chart.<p>It&#x27;s very common to see them in dashboards and in the news when reporting election results.<p>Making them look ok in {qlikview,tableau,etc} it&#x27;s a bit time consuming.
