similar things, you can use:

    # ... make your chart
    $cc->draw;
    my $image_data = $cc->rendered_data;

If you happen to be using Catalyst then take a look at
[Catalyst::View::Graphics::Primitive](https://metacpan.org/pod/Catalyst::View::Graphics::Primitive).

# ATTRIBUTES

## background\_color

Set/Get the background [color](https://metacpan.org/pod/Graphics::Color::RGB). Defaults to white.

## border

Set/Get the [border](https://metacpan.org/pod/Graphics::Primitive::Border).

## color\_allocator

Set/Get the [color\_allocator](https://metacpan.org/pod/Chart::Clicker::Drawing::ColorAllocator) for this chart.

## contexts

Set/Get the [contexts](https://metacpan.org/pod/Chart::Clicker::Context) for this chart.

## datasets

Get/Set the datasets for this chart.

## driver

Set/Get the [driver](https://metacpan.org/pod/Graphics::Primitive::Driver) used to render this Chart. Defaults to
[Graphics::Primitive::Driver::Cairo](https://metacpan.org/pod/Graphics::Primitive::Driver::Cairo).

## format

Get the format for this Chart.  Required in the constructor.  Must be on of
Png, Pdf, Ps or Svg.

## plot\_mode

Fast or slow plot mode. When in fast mode, data elements that are deemed to be
superfluous or invisible will not be drawn. Default is 'slow'

## grid\_over

Flag controlling if the grid is rendered **over** the data.  Defaults to 0.
You probably want to set the grid's background color to an alpha of 0 if you
enable this flag.

## height

Set/Get the height.  Defaults to 300.

## layout\_manager

Set/Get the layout manager.  Defaults to [Layout::Manager::Compass](https://metacpan.org/pod/Layout::Manager::Compass).

## legend

Set/Get the [legend](https://metacpan.org/pod/Chart::Clicker::Decoration::Legend) that will be used with this chart.

## legend\_position

The position the legend will be added.  Should be one of north, south, east,
west or center as required by [Layout::Manager::Compass](https://metacpan.org/pod/Layout::Manager::Compass).

## marker\_overlay

Set/Get the [marker overlay](https://metacpan.org/pod/Chart::Clicker::Decoration::MarkerOverlay) object that will be used if this chart
has markers.  This is lazily constructed to save time.

## over\_decorations

Set/Get an arrayref of "over decorations", or things that are drawn OVER the
chart.  This is an advanced feature.  See `overaxis-bar.pl` in the examples.

## padding

Set/Get the [padding](https://metacpan.org/pod/Graphics::Primitive::Insets). Defaults
to 3px on all sides.

## plot

Set/Get the [plot](https://metacpan.org/pod/Chart::Clicker::Decoration::Plot) on which things are drawn.

## subgraphs

You can add "child" graphs to this one via `add_subgraph`.  These must be
Chart::Clicker objects and they will be added to the bottom of the existing
chart.  This is a rather esoteric feature.

## title

Set/Get the title component for this chart.  This is a
[Graphics::Primitive::TextBox](https://metacpan.org/pod/Graphics::Primitive::TextBox), not a string.  To set the title of a chart
you should access the TextBox's `text` method.

    $cc->title->text('A Title!');
    $cc->title->font->size(20);
    # etc, etc

If the title has text then it is added to the chart in the position specified
by `title_position`.

You should consult the documentation for [Graphics::Primitive::TextBox](https://metacpan.org/pod/Graphics::Primitive::TextBox) for
things like padding and text rotation.  If you are adding it to the top and
want some padding between it and the plot, you can:

    $cc->title->padding->bottom(5);

## title\_position

The position the title will be added.  Should be one of north, south, east,
west or center as required by [Layout::Manager::Compass](https://metacpan.org/pod/Layout::Manager::Compass).

Note that if no angle is set for the title then it will be changed to
\-1.5707 if the title position is east or west.

## width

Set/Get the width.  Defaults to 500.
