lo there,  
i have a partial i want to display that will contain a graph, but i  
don’t  
want to do all the data pulls from the rhtml, so if i do, say, a render  
partial \_chart.rhtml, will it respond to a controller function called  
chart  
and be able to use its variables ?  
Or is this a place to put a helper ?

thanks
