-This package provides a method of querying for raw time series data from the GCM APIs and additionally plotting that data for use in other applications.
-
-This came to be due to what we consider a small limitation in the Google APIs which require us to re-draw graphs to include them in other applications such as
-Slack bots. There is no facility in the Google API that provides a PNG of already graphed data.
-
 ## Authentication
 This package makes no effort to assist in authentication to the Google APIs.
 Instead, it will expect the caller to supply an authenticated client.

-## Plotting
-To plot the data, tsplot leverages the open source package [gonum/plot](github.com/gonum/plot) to create a graph and plot the data for a given time series.

-The example below creates a new graph containing a singular time series, plots it, and saves the resulting plot to disk.
