 * target (default:  ) can be used to simultaneously specify the page in the graph title and the page for which page traffic is displayed.
 * color (default: #00f) can be used to change the graph color; accepted inputs include HTML color names (e.g., red) and hex codes
 * scale (default: linear) can be used to change the scale of the y axis; accepted inputs: linear, log, pow, sqrt, quantile, quantize, and threshold
 * width (default: 800) may be used to change the width in pixels of the image
