Image::BoxModel::Chart - Charts using Image::BoxModel (Incomplete)

SYNOPSIS

 use Image::BoxModel::Chart;
 
 my $image = new Image::BoxModel::Chart (
        width => 800, 
        height => 400, 
        lib=> "IM",                     #[IM|GD]
 );     
 
 print $image -> Annotate (text=> 'Hello naked BarChart', padding_top=>10, padding_bottom=> 20, background => "white");
 
 print $image -> Annotate (text => "happiness", textsize => 14, box_position => "left", rotate=>-90, padding_right => "10", text_position => "Center");
 
 $image -> ChartBars (values => [1,5,3,10,-10]);
 
 $image -> Save(file=> "20_chart_bars_naked_$image->{lib}.png");

DESCRIPTION

Image::BoxModel::Chart will implement different sorts of charts.

bars, points, stapled points, lines; all vertically and horizontally

The development is quite slow, so if you wish to see something implemented, get the source and feel free to contribute. Or consider sponsoring. :-)

Completeness is more important here than a fast implementation.

Methods

ChartBars

 $image -> ChartBars(values => \@values|[value1, value2, value3...] scale_skip

Draw naked bars on an empty box.

Chart

Incomplete! Don't use!

It fights the problem from outside an will be cutting boxes for axis-annotations, ticks and so on. I will first fight from the inside and do the "naked" charts. Afterwards I will come back and fix this.

Internal methods

preset_defaults

Sets many standard values so that the user does not need to specify them. Serves as a source of information if you want to know the possibilities..

While this changes more often than it remains the same, please see the source! I will add the pod as soon as the interface is more or less stable.
