How to use

//all used options are the default values
var el = L.control.elevation({
    position: "topright",
    theme: "steelblue-theme", //default: lime-theme
    width: 600,
    height: 125,
    margins: {
        top: 10,
        right: 20,
        bottom: 30,
        left: 50
    },
    useHeightIndicator: true, //if false a marker is drawn at map position
    interpolation: "linear", //see https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/SVG-Shapes#wiki-area_interpolate
    hoverNumber: {
        decimalsX: 3, //decimals on distance (always in km)
        decimalsY: 0, //deciamls on height (always in m)
        formatter: undefined //custom formatter function may be injected
    },
    xTicks: undefined, //number of ticks in x axis, calculated by default according to width
    yTicks: undefined, //number of ticks on y axis, calculated by default according to height
    collapsed: false    //collapsed mode, show chart on click or mouseover
});
el.addTo(map);
L.geoJson(geojson,{
    onEachFeature: el.addData.bind(el) //working on a better solution
}).addTo(map);

var el = L.control.elevation();
el.addTo(map);
var g=new L.GPX("./mytrack.gpx", {async: true});
g.on("addline",function(e){
    el.addData(e.line);
});
g.addTo(map);

// reset data and display
el.clear();

Customizing styles

To generate different themes lessCSS is used. Create your own theme in a new .less file in src/css/themes. Usable variables are

@theme : lime-theme;
@base-color : #9CC222; //basecolor to derive other colors from
@highlight-color : #637E0B; //basecolor to derive selections from
@background : fade(@base-color,20%); //background-color 
@drag-color : fade(@highlight-color,40%); //drag selection color
@axis-color : darken(@base-color,20%); //color of axes
@stroke-color : darken(@base-color,40%); //color for mouse highlight
@stroke-width-mouse-focus : 1; //stroke width for mouse highlight
@stroke-width-height-focus: 2; //stroke width for height focus indicator
@stroke-width-axis : 2; //stroke width for axes;

Add the theme file to the less- and cssmin task in the Gruntfile and you´re good to go.
