node-raphael-args (includes raphael.JSON)

using the beatiful SVG library Raphaël in node.js to generate svg-data.

Features

* static svg generation with raphael
* ability to provide arguments to draw function for slightly more customizable rendering
* export images to and import from JSON

Installation

``bash
npm install node-raphael-args
`

Motivation

NIH - not invented here ...
srsly .. i want to generate some good looking charts without using javascript on client side (because this is lame for none-interactive images)

for the args and json part - i wanted to let functions be slightly more dynamic when rendering, and also wanted the ability to load json info from the client and regenerate it server side

Usage

`javascript
var raphael = require('node-raphael-args');
var svg = raphael.generate(width, height, function draw(paper) { … });
``

__WARNING__

jsdom just implements a DOM 1.0, which only covers SVG 1.0, but raphael uses SVG 1.1, so features like text may not work.
