### Expose SignalR HubConnection for SVG interaction

Source: https://github.com/xkqg/matplotlibnet/blob/main/Src/MatPlotLibNet.AspNetCore/README.md

Host page setup for the frontend hookup: loads the SignalR client, creates a HubConnection to '/charts-hub', exposes it globally as window.__mpl_signalr_connection, subscribes to 'UpdateChartSvg' for chart 'live-1', and starts the connection. The SVG's embedded script uses this connection when the first event fires.

```html
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/microsoft-signalr/8.0.0/signalr.min.js"></script>
<script>
    const conn = new signalR.HubConnectionBuilder()
        .withUrl('/charts-hub')
        .withAutomaticReconnect()
        .build();
    window.__mpl_signalr_connection = conn;
    conn.on('UpdateChartSvg', (id, svg) => {
        if (id === 'live-1') document.getElementById('chart-host').innerHTML = svg;
    });
    conn.start().then(() => conn.invoke('Subscribe', 'live-1'));
</script>

### Code Example
```csharp
var rng = new Random(99);
string[] brands = ["Alpha", "Beta", "Gamma", "Delta", "Epsilon"];
int periods = 8;
double[] xPeriods = Enumerable.Range(1, periods).Select(i => (double)i).ToArray();
var palette = new[] { "#E41A1C", "#377EB8", "#4DAF4A", "#984EA3", "#FF7F00" };

int[][] ranks = Enumerable.Range(0, brands.Length).Select(_ => new int[periods]).ToArray();
for (int p = 0; p < periods; p++)
{
    int[] perm = Enumerable.Range(1, brands.Length).OrderBy(_ => rng.Next()).ToArray();
    for (int b = 0; b < brands.Length; b++) ranks[b][p] = perm[b];
}

Plt.Create()
    .WithTitle("Bump Chart — Brand Ranking over Time")
    .WithSize(900, 450)
    .AddSubPlot(1, 1, 1, ax =>
    {
        for (int b = 0; b < brands.Length; b++)

            double[] y = ranks[b].Select(r => (double)r).ToArray();
            ax.Plot(xPeriods, y, s => { s.Color = Color.FromHex(palette[b]); s.LineWidth = 3; s.Marker = MarkerStyle.Circle; s.MarkerSize = 10; s.Label = brands[b]; });
        }
        ax.SetYLim(brands.Length + 0.5, 0.5); // invert: rank 1 at top
        ax.SetYLabel("Rank");
        ax.WithLegend();
    })

### Relative Rotation Graph (RRG) with and without overlays

Source: https://github.com/xkqg/matplotlibnet/wiki/Chart-Types

Two RelativeRotation examples: a basic one plotting three alts against a BTC benchmark with a fading tail, and one with AbsorptionRatioPerBar and EnbPerBar overlays. The basic example uses TailLength = 12 and ColorMaps.Plasma. The overlay example expects double[] arrays for absorption (0..1, green→red fill) and ENB (radius proportional to ENB).

```csharp
// Basic — three alts vs BTC benchmark
Plt.Create()
    .AddSubPlot(1, 1, 1, ax => ax
        .SetXLabel("RS-Ratio")
        .SetYLabel("RS-Momentum")
        .RelativeRotation(
            new[] { ethCloses, bnbCloses, solCloses },
            btcCloses,
            new[] { "ETH", "BNB", "SOL" },
            s => { s.TailLength = 12; s.ColorMap = ColorMaps.Plasma; }))
    .ToSvg();
```

```csharp
// With absorption + ENB overlays (Layer 3 → Layer 2 feedback)
Plt.Create()
    .AddSubPlot(1, 1, 1, ax => ax
        .RelativeRotation(assetCloses, bench, labels, s =>
        {
            s.AbsorptionRatioPerBar = absorptionPerBar;  // double[]  [0..1], green→red fill
            s.EnbPerBar             = enbPerBar;         // double[], radius ∝ ENB
        }))
    .ToSvg();
```

### Apply a theme with WithTheme

Source: https://github.com/xkqg/matplotlibnet/blob/main/docs/cookbook/themes.md

Applies a built-in theme to a chart. The example uses Theme.Dracula and saves the result as an SVG file.

```csharp
Plt.Create()
    .WithTheme(Theme.Dracula)
    .Plot(x, y, s => s.Label = "Data")
    .WithLegend()
    .Save("dracula.svg");
```

--------------------------------

### Shade below threshold with Threshold

Source: https://github.com/xkqg/matplotlibnet/blob/main/docs/cookbook/annotations.md

Uses Threshold to shade everything below a value. This example shades below 30 to mark an oversold zone.

```csharp
Plt.Create()
    .AddSubPlot(1, 1, 1, ax => ax
        .Plot(x, y, s => s.Label = "Signal")
        .Threshold(30.0, Orientation.Horizontal, ThresholdBreach.Below,
            color: Colors.Tab10Green, label: "Oversold")
        .WithLegend())
    .Save("threshold_below.svg");
```

--------------------------------

### Quick Example: Create and Save a Chart with Plt.Create()

Source: https://github.com/xkqg/matplotlibnet/wiki/MatPlotLibNet

Creates a chart with a title, dark theme, a blue line series labeled "Data", a legend, and saves it as an SVG file. Uses the fluent builder API where Save() calls Build() internally.

```csharp
using MatPlotLibNet;
using MatPlotLibNet.Styling;

double[] x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
double[] y = [2, 4, 3, 5, 1];

Plt.Create()
    .WithTitle("My First Chart")
    .WithTheme(Theme.Dark)
    .Plot(x, y, s => { s.Color = Color.Blue; s.Label = "Data"; })
    .WithLegend()
    .Save("chart.svg");
```

--------------------------------

### Configure pie series properties

Source: https://github.com/xkqg/matplotlibnet/wiki/Fluent-Cheatsheet

Sets explode offsets, percentage label format, start angle, and shadow for a pie chart.

```csharp
// Pie
ax.Pie(sizes, labels, s =>
{
    s.Explode = [0, 0.1, 0, 0];
    s.AutoPct = "{0:F1}%";
    s.StartAngle = 90;
    s.Shadow = true;
});
```

foreach (var (country, value) in countryData)
{
    var poly = NaturalEarth110m.Countries.First(c => c.Properties["NAME"] == country);
    ax.AddSeries(new GeoPolygonSeries(poly, new Robinson())
    {
        FillColor = ColorMaps.Viridis.GetColor(value / maxValue),
        EdgeColor = Colors.White,
        EdgeWidth = 0.3,
    });
