*MetricsGraphics* is a library built for visualizing and laying out time-series data. At around 15kB (gzipped), it provides a simple way to produce common types of graphics in a principled and consistent way. The library currently supports line charts, scatterplots and histograms, as well as features like rug plots.
## Example
All you need to do is add an entry node to your document:
```html
<div id="chart"></div>
```
Then, use the id to mount the chart:
```js
import LineChart from 'metrics-graphics'
new LineChart({
data, // some array of data objects
width: 600,
height: 200,
target: '#chart',
area: true,
xAccessor: 'date',
yAccessor: 'value'
})
```
That's it!
