This is best\nexplained by example, so here is how to draw a simple line chart using clip:\n\n```css\nclass: plot;\n\nlimit-x: 0 7200;\nlimit-y: 0 100;\n\naxes {\n  font: \"Roboto\";\n  position: left bottom;\n  label-placement-x: linear-interval(900 900 7000);\n  label-format-x: datetime(\"%H:%M:%S\");\n}\n\nlines {\n  data: \"test/testdata/timeseries.csv\";\n  stroke-width: 0.8pt;\n  color: #06c;\n}\n```\n\nThe input file from above (`example.clp`) can be processed with clip using the\nfollowing command:\n\n    $ clip --export output.svg example.clp\n\nThis is the resulting SVG file (`output.svg`):\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https://clip-lang.org/examples/charts-scientific/multiple_y_axes\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"/doc/demo.svg\" width=\"80%\" alt=\"Demo Chart\" /\u003e\n  \u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\nNote that this example is only intended to give you an idea of what the syntax\nlooks like; for an in-depth description of all parameters, please refer to\n[the documentation](https://clip-lang.org). More examples can be found on\n[the examples page](https://clip-lang.org/examples).\n\n\nDocumentation\n-------------\n\nYou can find the full documentation and more examples at [clip-lang.org](https://clip-lang.org/).\n\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\n#### Compile from source\n\nTo build clip, you need an up-to-date C++ compiler, cmake, fmtlib, libharfbuzz,\nlibfreetype and cairo. Then run:\n\n    $ cmake .\n    $ make\n\nTo install the `clip` binary into your system, run `make install`:\n\n    $ make i",
