Install the plugin using the Plugin Manager and the download URL above, which points to latest version of the plugin. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

Where you want the chart to appear, use a pair of tags:
<pixelyear>
</pixelyear>

Between the tags is a list dates with a month, day and 'pixel' separated with a pipe character “|” in the format month|day|pixel. The pixel is a number 1-5 where 1 is bad, 5 is good.

Example:
<pixelyear>
01|01|1
01|02|2
01|03|3
01|04|4
01|05|5
</pixelyear>

The idea is that you edit daily to keep track of your progress on something. Then when displayed, the chart will show you instantly and easily how well you are doing. Lots of green means you've done well, more red and orange is bad. The chart should work alongside anything else, so you can write notes or more information such as summarising the chart.

Please bear in mind that this is my first attempt at a plugin. I can see a few places that I've not done things optimally and will continue to improve it. I'd welcome any constructive criticism.
