When the definition is parsed, a list of chart data structures containing all required information is created. After parsing is successful - one pass - the list is passed to the code generator which creates the output.
The user only has influence on the chart definitions. Errors are logged to the standard logfile. There is currently no true error recovery so when an error is encountered it is logged and the compiler exits to fall back to the default cumuluscharts.txt. The user has to correct the error and run the compiler again. A normal way to develop the charts would be to iterate through the command ''CompileOnly'' and when the generation goes without errors, incorporate the charts in the website. When using the command like this, be aware of what is written on the [[Website_Generator#Javascript_libraries|Website Generator page]] on this.
Read the [[Charts Definition Language (CDL)|Charts Definition Language]].
