      # A controller method which generates a chart:
      sub thechart : Local {
          my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

          [ ... generate $data and $opts somehow or other ... ]
          $c->stash->{chart_opts} = $opts;
          $c->stash->{chart_data} = $data;
          $c->forward('MyApp::View::ChartStrip');
      }

DESCRIPTION
    This view allows the serving of Chart::Strip stripchart graphics via
    Catalyst. The raw numeric data and various chart options are placed in
    "$c->stash".

    Instances of Catalyst::View::Chart::Strip, like
    "MyApp::View::ChartStrip" shown in the synopsis above, can be thought of
    as basically a collection of common defaults for the various chart
    options. You should probably create a seperate View class for each
    distinct style of charts your application commonly generates.

    All of the standard constructor arguments documented by Chart::Strip are
    supported as "->config" parameters in your View class, and are also
    overrideable at chart generation time via "$c->stash->{chart_opts}".

    Catalyst::View::Chart::Strip adds a few new options in addition to the
    ones that are standard in Chart::Strip, which are detailed below.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
    (See Chart::Strip for a complete list of options. Any Chart::Strip
    option can be passed through as a "->config" parameter).

    All of these options are valid both a "->config" time, or at chart
    generation time via "$c->stash->{chart_opts}".

  img_type
    Sets the output image type. Values currently supported by Chart::Strip
    and GD beneath it are "png" and "jpeg". The default is "png" if
    unspecified.

  quality
    This is the quality parameter for the output graphics data, as
    documented in detail by GD's documentation. Valid quality ranges are
    0-100 for "jpeg" and 0-9 for "png". Completely optional, and defaults to
    a reasonably normal value in both cases.

  palette
    An optional arrayref of colors as six-digit hexidecimal strings, like
    "FFFFFF" or "4A5C2D". The various datasets in your graph will be colored
