NAME

Chart::GGPlot - ggplot2 port in Perl

VERSION

version 0.0011

STATUS

At this moment this library is experimental and still under active development (at my after-work time). It's still quite incomplete compared to R's ggplot2 library, but the core features are working.

Besides, it heavily depends on my Alt::Data::Frame::ButMore library, which is also experimental.

SYNOPSIS

use Chart::GGPlot qw(:all);
use Data::Frame::Examples qw(mtcars);

my $plot = ggplot(
    data => mtcars(),
    mapping => aes( x => 'wt', y => 'mpg' )
)->geom_point();

# show in browser
$plot->show;

# export to image file
$plot->save('mtcars.png');

# see "examples" dir of this library's distribution for more examples.

DESCRIPTION

This Chart-GGPlot library is an implementation of ggplot2 in Perl. It's designed to be possible to support multiple plotting backends. And it ships a default backend which uses Chart::Plotly.

This Chart::GGPlot module is the function interface of the Perl Chart-GGPlot library.

Example exported image files:

proportional stacked bar line chart boxplot smooth viridis color scale polygon heatmap theme 'minimal'

See the examples dir in the library's distribution for more examples.

Document Conventions

Function signatures in docs of this library follow the Function::Parameters conventions, for example,

myfunc(Type1 $positional_parameter, Type2 :$named_parameter)

FUNCTIONS

ggplot

ggplot(:$data, :$mapping, %rest)

This is same as Chart::GGPlot::Plot->new(...). See Chart::GGPlot::Plot for details.

qplot

qplot((Piddle1D|ArrayRef) :$x, (Piddle1D|ArrayRef) :$y,
    Str :$geom='auto',
    :$xlim=undef, :$ylim=undef,
    Str :$log='',
    Maybe[Str] :$title=undef, Str :$xlab='x', Str :$ylab='y',
    %rest)

Arguments:

  • $x, $y

    Data. Supports either 1D piddles or arrayrefs. When arrayref is specified, it would be converted to either a numeric piddle or a PDL::SV piddle, guessing by its contents.

  • $geom

    Geom type. "auto" is treated as 'point'. It would internally call a geom_${geom} function.

  • $xlim, $ylim

    Axes limits.

  • $log

    Which axis use logarithmic scale? One of '', 'x', 'y', 'xy'.

  • $title

    Plot title. Default is undef, for no title.

  • $xlabel, $ylabel

    Axes labels.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

CHART_GGPLOT_TRACE

A positive integer would enable debug messages.
