Where to put data for a render partial rails

Hey there,
i have a partial set aside for a xml based pie chart, i dont want to do the
array building inside the rhtml file though because afik, it would violate
mvc. So, if i do a
<%= render :partial => "pie_chart" %>
where do i put the data manipulation function, and variables that i want to
be displayed in the
_pie_chart.rhtml ?

thanks

This would be better answered on the rails mailing list. My guess would be that the data manipulation functions would be in the controller. That's what it's there for.
