Smoothie charts within a node.js platform

Real time charting for financial data is a crucial piece of any modern market data terminal.

Within a node.js platform you have a lot of choices. I recommend this post on Sitepoint to give an overview of JavaScript charting libraries.  So far I have been looking at Smoothie and D3.  I think it's pretty clear that D3 represents the state of the art but for the purposes I am looking at I don't need anything so fancy.  Smoothie is not as functionally rich and may not be a long term viable component as client requirements change, but for the very simple needs for deliverable zero it's a nice fit...
