SVG::Graph − Visualize your data in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format.
use SVG::Graph; use SVG::Graph::Data; use SVG::Graph::Data::Datum; #create a new SVG document to plot in... my $graph = SVG::Graph−>new(width=>600,height=>600,margin=>30); #and create a frame to hold the data/glyphs my $frame = $graph−>add_frame; #let's plot y = x^2 my @data = map {SVG::Graph::Data::Datum−>new(x=>$_,y=>$_^2)} (1,2,3,4,5); my $data = SVG::Graph::Data−>new(data => \@data); #put the xy data into the frame $frame−>add_data($data); #add some glyphs to apply to the data in the frame $frame−>add_glyph('axis', #add an axis glyph 'x_absolute_ticks' => 1, #with ticks every one #unit on the x axis 'y_absolute_ticks' => 1, #and ticks every one #unit on the y axis 'stroke' => 'black', #draw the axis black 'stroke−width' => 2, #and 2px thick ); $frame−>add_glyph('scatter', #add a scatterplot glyph 'stroke' => 'red', #the dots will be outlined #in red, 'fill' => 'red', #filled red, 'fill−opacity' => 0.5, #and 50% opaque ); #print the graphic print $graph−>draw;
SVG::Graph is a suite of perl modules for plotting data. SVG::Graph currently supports plots of one−, two− and three-dimensional data, as well as N−ary rooted trees. Data may be represented as:
Glyph Name Dimensionality supported 1d 2d 3d tree −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− Axis x Bar Graph x Bubble Plot x Heatmap Graph x Line Graph x Pie Graph x Scatter Plot x Spline Graph x Tree x
SVG::Graph 0.02 is a pre-alpha release. Keep in mind that many of the glyphs are not very robust.
You need to create a SVG::Graph::Frame instance from the parent SVG::Graph instance for each set of data to be plotted. Datasets can be hierarchical, and to represent this, SVG::Graph::Frame instances can themselves contain subframes. SVG::Graph::Frame can contain:
− multiple subframes as instances of SVG::Graph::Frame − a single SVG::Graph::Data instance − multiple SVG::Graph::Glyph instances with which to render the attached SVG::Graph::Data instance, and all SVG::Graph::Data instances attached to SVG::Graph::Frame subinstances
See SVG::Graph::Frame and SVG::Graph::Glyph for details.
ONE DATA SET
1. create an SVG::Graph instance 2. create an SVG::Graph::Frame instance by calling SVG::Graph::add_frame(); 3. create an SVG::Graph::Data instance, containing an SVG::Graph::Data::Datum instance for each data point. 4. Attach the SVG::Graph::Data instance to your SVG::Graph::Frame using SVG::Graph::Frame::add_data(); 5. Attach glyphs to the SVG::Graph::Frame instance using SVG::Graph::Frame::add_glyph(); 6. Call SVG::Graph::draw();
MULTIPLE DATA SETS
1. create an SVG::Graph instance 2. create an SVG::Graph::Frame instance by calling SVG::Graph::add_frame(); 3. create an SVG::Graph::Data instance, containing an SVG::Graph::Data::Datum instance for each data point. 4. Attach the SVG::Graph::Data instance to your SVG::Graph::Frame using SVG::Graph::Frame::add_data(); 5. Attach glyphs to the SVG::Graph::Frame instance using SVG::Graph::Frame::add_glyph(); 6. repeat [2−5] for each additional data set to be added. add_frame() can be called on SVG::Graph to add top−level data sets, or SVG::Graph::Frame to add hierarchical data sets. 7. Call SVG::Graph::draw();
