This is a node.js application/service that converts Highcharts.JS charts to static image files. It supports PNG, JPEG, SVG, and PDF output; and the input can be either SVG, or JSON-formatted chart options. The application can be used either as a CLI (Command Line Interface), as an HTTP server, or as a node.js module.
