I have done it like this:
cfchart name=myChart format = png
dataBackgroundColor = ###request.color_background#
showBorder = no showLegend = no chartWidth=220
chartHeight=270 pieslicestyle=sliced style=piechart.xml
cfchartseries
type=pie
You will need to use the name attribute so you can access the binary data
of the chart. From here you can use that to save it to a filename on the
file system or attach it to an email. Keep in mind though you wont get all
the hovering or anything. It is just the chart itself
