Chart: Chart class

Description

The Chart class is a wrapper for the Highcharts API. It also includes data() and html() to extend with some additional functionality specific for R users.

<code>data()</code>

A method that may take either vectors or data frames as input.

<code>html()</code>

A method to convert the chart object to HTML code. The code does not include necessary JavaScript files (e.g. Highcharts and jQuery); however, when used interactively (show()) or with Shiny, those are automatically included.
