It looks great Simon.
Are you planning to incorporate other chart types ?
( pie, gantt, etc. )

Minor suggestion: make shadows optional, they look nice on screen,
sometimes not that good on cheap printers.

best,

Any relation or shared code or comparisons with Sean Russell's SVG::Graph?

Not that it really matters, but graph != chart, they are different
things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph. I've considered using
ruby-svg for generating graphs of PostgreSQL databases, but I think
I'll end up generating Dot files for Graphviz instead.

Best regards,

I am considering making a barchart. I have no plans about pie nor gantt
charts (yet).

shadows.. hmm. SVG can be configured with CSS, I guess I can do something
fancy, so that another styles is used if media==printer.

Opinions about the code are in paticular welcome :slight_smile:

Wow.. there is a bunch of nice charts here.
I wasn't aware of this package.

There is no relation yet, at this moment there is no dependencies on other
packages (except test::unit).

I will think I will take a peek at Sean's source. I can see he has been
able to place the labels in a nice way.

btw: Thanks James for this link.

you *may* want to have shadows if you have a good laser printer
you *may* want to disable shadows on screen

having a look at it now :slight_smile:
