## Getting Started
Easiest way to start with FusionCharts is to include the JavaScript library in your webpage, create a `<div>` container and chart instance, configure the data and render. Check this HTML snippet below:
```javascript
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="https://cdn.fusioncharts.com/fusioncharts/latest/fusioncharts.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="chart-container"></div>
    <script>
        FusionCharts.ready(function () {
            // chart instance
            var chart = new FusionCharts({
                type: "column2d",
                renderAt: "chart-container", // container where chart will render
                width: "600",
                height: "400",
                dataFormat: "json",
                dataSource: {
                    // chart configuration
                    chart: {
                        caption: "Countries With Most Oil Reserves [2017-18]",
                        subcaption: "In MMbbl = One Million barrels"
                    },
                    // chart data
                    data: [
                        { label: "Venezuela", value: "290000" },
                        { label: "Saudi", value: "260000" },
                        { label: "Canada", value: "180000" },
                        { label: "Iran", value: "140000" },
                        { label: "Russia", value: "115000" },
                        { label: "UAE", value: "100000" },
                        { label: "US", value: "30000" },
                        { label: "China", value: "30000" }
                    ]
                }
            }).render();
        });
    </script>
</body>

## Using Themes
FusionCharts provides several out-of-the box themes that can be applied to all the charts to configure the visual appearance of the charts. Below is an example on how to use a theme:

```html
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="https://cdn.fusioncharts.com/fusioncharts/latest/fusioncharts.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.fusioncharts.com/fusioncharts/latest/themes/fusioncharts.theme.fusion.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="chart-container"></div>
    <script>
        FusionCharts.ready(function () {
            // chart instance
            var chart = new FusionCharts({
                type: "column2d",
                renderAt: "chart-container", // container where chart will render
                width: "600",
                height: "400",
                dataFormat: "json",
                dataSource: {
                    // chart configuration
                    chart: {
                        caption: "Countries With Most Oil Reserves [2017-18]",
                        subcaption: "In MMbbl = One Million barrels",
                        theme: "fusion" //Specifying which theme to use
                    },
                    // chart data
                    data: [
                        { label: "Venezuela", value: "290000" },
                        { label: "Saudi", value: "260000" },
                        { label: "Canada", value: "180000" },

  renderAt: "chart-container", // container where chart will render
  width: "600",
  height: "400",
  dataFormat: "json",

        theme: "fusion"
      },
      // chart data
      data: [
        { label: "Venezuela", value: "290000" },
