How to instantiate controller in Angular.js?

I would like to use Angular with non-DOM view (using Pixi.js), so I need to instantiate controller manually (analogical to ng-controller attribute), I found something like:

$controller('MyController', {$scope: $scope}));

but it suppose I have already $scope created.

Note: I know Angular is mainly aimed to use DOM element, but for Pixi, it could be a little bit similar, I would use $watch and $apply for attributes like x, y, alpha etc. Thanks.

The most straightforward way to do this is like this:

angular.module('<module-name>', [])
    .controller('MyController', function ($scope) {
        ...
    });
