It is a general purpose plotting library, written entirely in ruby. You need RMagick to use it at the moment (additional backends will be developed in the future). I would still call it alpha, even though it creates nice plots.
- The font metrics are wrong if you use another font or font size (I don't know if this depends on my freetype installation)
- It is very very slow, but I discovered the profiler not until yesterday.
- It is my first ruby program I've ever written and I'm not very familiar with the ruby syntax, so expect some major changes in structure in the next time

I just released my first ruby project: mrplot

Sweet! Pretty good for somebody who claims to be new to Ruby
Sorry, don't know about OSX (though I'm thinking about getting a Mac
mini to try it out ;)) but one thing to ponder if you go for an OpenGL
backend might be to allow animation in setting up / drawing the
graphs. For example, in a bar graph, first the grid and x and y axes
and labels and then the bars grow up/down from the axis. Just a
thought for a version 2.0 or so...
