Issue of being unable to save image without calling SaveChart() and pop up Forms window.

   /// Render the chart in a new ChartControl without requiring a forms window
    member ch.RenderChart () =
    let frm = new Form(Visible = false, TopMost = true, Width = 700, Height = 500)
    let ctl = new ChartControl(ch, Dock = DockStyle.Fill)
    frm.Controls.Add(ctl)

suggested fix also slightly hacky, thoughts?
