Introduction

Backbone-d3 is a reusable charting library built using a number of technologies like BackboneJS, D3, RequireJS. 
The library is easily scalable as I have used AMD architecture to create modular charts. One can easily create 
dashboard with a number of chart by just instantiating the view for the required chart and specifying the DOM Target
where the chart needs to be render. Currently supported charts include Bar Chart, Scatter Plot, Donut Chart, Pie Chart 
and many more.

Usage

In order to create a new chart or a dashboard you would only be required to create an instance of the chartView
For Example PieChartView which renders a PieChart and specify the dom Target which appends the chart svg to 
the domTarget. For creating a new dashboard with multiple report you would need to specify multipe Dom Targets
and create instances of the particular view, which would render the report. Currently you can only send data using an
array format which can be found in Chart View file with __getData function and you can also specify the colors for 
the chart using __getColors function.

Examples

Go to the example directory and you can find all the examples like:

Bar Chart 
Scatter Plot Chart
Pie Chart
Donut Chart
