 A flexible charting component for React. VictoryChart composes other Victory components into reusable charts. Acting as a coordinator rather than a stand-alone component, VictoryChart reconciles props such as `domain` and `scale` for child components, and provides a set of sensible defaults. This component works with:

In addition, it also created a set of VictoryAxis components with the correct domain for the data being plotted by VictoryLine, created tick values based on that data, aligned all of its child components into a correct chart, and applied a set of default styles.
