Depends on D20439. Ref T13279. Some day, charts will probably need to reload themselves or do a bunch of defer/request-shaping magic when they're on a dashboard with 900 other charts.
Give the controller separate "HTML placeholder" and "actual data" modes, and make the placeholder fetch the data in a separate request.
Then, make the chart redraw if you resize the window instead of staying at whatever size it started as.
