+# Description
 XChart is a light-weight and convenient library for plotting data.
 
 Its focus is on simplicity and ease-of-use, requiring only two lines of code to save or display a basic default chart.
 
 Usage is very simple: Create a Chart instance, add a series of data to it, and either save it or display it.
 
-Example

+# Example
 
     double[] xData = new double[] { 0.0, 1.0, 2.0 };
