New Chart Types
===============
Chart.js is designed to be modular. See http://www.chartjs.org/docs/#advanced-usage-writing-new-chart-types
All discussion of new chart types (horizontal bar charts, X-Y scatter plot, etc.) should be done in the Chart.js Google Group at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/chartjs-user-discussion This will get the most exposure for getting people to help define requirements, complete programming and documentation of your vision.
Please do not request new chart types in the project issues. Fully implemented, documented, and useful new charts may be maintained in a new repository. Later, we may add a link to selected external repositories from this project.

This project is modular and supports separately-maintained new chart types. This project's scope includes only the chart types included. New chart types should be created and maintained in separate repositories. We may consider linking to them from this project if they incude passing build tests and have complete documentation. Please discuss new or "missing" chart types in the [Chart.js User Discussion](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/chartjs-user-discussion) Google Group and not in Issues. For more information, please also see the CONTRIBUTING file.
