How to generate chart image in background ?

I have some initial data and need to generate image file containing chart based on this data.
So I need to generate chart image in background without displaying any chart control.
I see that every Web, Desktop or Mobile Syncfusion's product contains Chart control.
But they are visual controls, while I need no visuality at all.
Is it possible to perform such task with the help of some Syncfusion product ?
