Declarative Charting Framework for Angular2 and beyond!

# Features
Out of the box, we wanted to create a low level robust framework on which
to build charts. Outside of the following chart types:

### Chart Types
- Horizontal & Vertical Bar Charts (Standard, Grouped, Stacked, Normalized)
- Line 
- Area (Standard, Stacked, Normalized)
- Pie (Explodable, Grid, Custom legends)
- Donut
- Gauge
- Force Directed Graph
- Heatmap
- Treemap
- Number Cards

### Customization
- Autoscaling
- Timeline Filtering
- Line Interpolation
- Configurable Axis Labels
- Legends (Labels & Gradient)
- Advanced Label Positioning
- Real-time data support
- Advanced Tooltips
- Data point Event Handlers
- Works with ngUpgrade

## Coming Soon
- Responsive Layout
- Transitions / Animations
- Better RX Support
- More Chart Types such as Bubble, Radar, Scatter

If you have an idea for a new feature, create a Github issue or even better a PR ;).
Make sure to include the use case, an example image of the chart (if applicable) and
data formats.

## Alternatives

years ago when we started this project internally and many of them still don't really work well with Angular. Here's a recent list
