                            Adding your own methods to canvas
                        </h3>
                        <p>
                            You can add your own method to the canvas. For example if you want to draw pie chart, you can create your own pie chart function and ship it as a Raphaël plugin. To do this you need to extend Raphael.fn object. Please note that you can create your own namespaces inside fn object. Methods will be run in context of canvas anyway. You should alter fn object before Raphaël instance was created, otherwise it will take no effect.
                        </p>
                        <h4>Usage</h4>
                        <pre class="javascript code"><code>Raphael.fn.arrow = function (x1, y1, x2, y2, size) {
    return this.path( ... );
};
// or create namespace
Raphael.fn.mystuff = {
    arrow: function () {…},
    star: function () {…},
    // etc…
};
var paper = Raphael(10, 10, 630, 480);
// then use it
paper.arrow(10, 10, 30, 30, 5).attr({fill: "#f00"});
paper.mystuff.arrow();
paper.mystuff.star();

                            Adding your own methods to elements
                        </h3>
                        <p>
                            You can add your own method to elements. This is usefull when you want to hack default functionality or want to wrap some common transformation or attributes in one method. In difference to canvas mathods, you can redefine element method at any time.
                        </p>
                        <h4>Usage</h4>
                        <pre class="javascript code"><code>Raphael.el.red = function () {
    this.attr({fill: "#f00"});
};
// then use it

                            There is an inconvenient rendering bug is Safari (WebKit): sometimes the rendering should be forced. This method should help with dealing with this bug.

                            If you want to leave no trace of Raphaël (Well, Raphaël creates only one global variable <code>Raphael</code>, but anyway.) You can use <code>ninja</code> method. Beware, that in this case plugins could stop working, because they are depending on global variable existance.
                        </p>
                        <h4>Usage</h4>
                        <pre class="javascript code"><code>(function (local_raphael) {
    var paper = local_raphael(10, 10, 320, 200);

                            You can attach events to elements by using element.node and your favourite library (<samp>$(circle.node).click(…)</samp>) or you can use built-in methods:
