# Morris.js - pretty time-series line graphs

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/oesmith/morris.js.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/oesmith/morris.js)

Morris.js is the library that powers the graphs on http://howmanyleft.co.uk/.
It's a very simple API for drawing line, area and donut charts.

Cheers!

## Requirements

- [jQuery](http://jquery.com/) (>= 1.7 recommended, but it'll probably work with older versions)
- [Raphael.js](http://raphaeljs.com/) (>= 2.0)

## Usage

See [the website](http://oesmith.github.com/morris.js/).

## Development

Very daring.

Fork, hack, possibly even add some tests, then send a pull request :)

### Developer quick-start

You'll need [node.js](https://nodejs.org).  I recommend using
[nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm) for installing node in
development environments.

With node installed, install [grunt](https://github.com/cowboy/grunt) using
`npm install -g grunt`, and then the rest of the test/build dependencies
with `npm install` in the morris.js project folder.

Once you're all set up, you can compile, minify and run the tests using `grunt`.
