Update for GO1 and gocode

The following snippet will generate the attached wrong formatted bar chart. If more bars are used the formatting looks okay, so somehow the bar width and pos calculation for one or two datapoints is wrong.

func IssueChart() error {
    wuc := chart.BarChart{Title: "Weekly Data Usage"}
    wuc.XRange.Category = []string{"W1", "W2"}
    wuc.XRange.Label, wuc.YRange.Label = "Calendar Week", "Data Transfer (MB)"
    wuc.Key.Pos, wuc.Key.Cols, wuc.Key.Border = "otc", 2, -1
    wuc.YRange.ShowZero = true
    wuc.ShowVal = 0
    pos := []float64{0, 1}
    rx := []float64{100.0, 150.0}
    tx := []float64{50.0, 200.0}
    wuc.AddDataPair("RX (Download)", pos, rx,
        chart.Style{Symbol: 'o', LineColor: color.NRGBA{69, 117, 179, 0xff}, LineWidth: 2, FillColor: color.NRGBA{79, 127, 189, 0xff}})
    wuc.AddDataPair("TX (Upload)", pos, tx,
        chart.Style{Symbol: 'o', LineColor: color.NRGBA{182, 70, 67, 0xff}, LineWidth: 2, FillColor: color.NRGBA{192, 80, 77, 0xff}})
    // Save image
    igr := imgg.New(1024, 640, color.RGBA{0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff}, nil, nil)
    wuc.Plot(igr)
    fh, err := os.Create("chart_issue.jpg")
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }
    err = jpeg.Encode(fh, igr.Image, nil)
    return err
}

I'm working on an OpenGL backend for chart, and it's really obvious that some lines are composed out of lots of little lines.

Would it be possible to make a new Polygon function? Backends not implementing it yet could fall back to drawing individual lines.

I copied the dumper for both png/svg. When I plot the result, the text in the legend of the svg file overflow its box

png looks good

svg overflows

The code I'm using for plotting is here and the minimal config for the key is here

Awesome work! I really like these charts

If I try to install the example, I get the following error:

I am newbie to go and can't understand how to use this package. Can you please provide basic usage with some examples. Because example you provided is big and hard to understand for me :(. And when I start my own test project I have errors like this:

the group style is applying both fill and stroke to the text. This results in blurry text. The solution is to remove:

"stroke:#000000; stroke-width:1

from the group.

I'm getting an "out of memory" error when trying to plot data on a logarithmic scale, but only when the data is within a certain range. Please look at the following:

https://jsfiddle.net/vp72e7j9/

If the data is above or below the range, the chart renders fine, however, if the data enters this range, the memory spikes and you get the error. (Watch the browser memory in Task Manager to see it spike). I'm using Firefox but it crashes in Chrome as well.

Consider

piec := chart.PieChart{Title: "testdata"}
piec.AddIntDataPair("Data1", []string{"2009", "2010", "2011"}, []int{10, 10, 45})
piec.Key.Border = -1
piec.FmtVal = chart.AbsoluteValue
dumper:=NewDumper("testfile",1,1,800,600)
defer dumper.Close()
dumper.Plot(&piec)

will give you and SVG output which looks like this (PNG is fine!).

Think you need a different arc when you have segments that are >180°.

Hello,
I try to plot a bar chart with a logarithmic y axis, but I always get an out of memory exception in:
chart.go:569
I tried hiding the tics, limiting the max range and setting delta to a tenth of my maximum value, but it's not helping.
Do you have an idea how I can circumvent this?
Interestingly, the example logarithmic chart works.
I would be glad to provide further information if you require.

Greetings,
Alex

The above locations shift color.RGBA fields right by 8 (c.R >> 8). But as they are uint8s, a right shift of 8 will always yield 0. It's not obvious what these shifts are supposed to be doing.

I noticed that two years have passed since last commit. Does this mean that the project is dead?

package main

import (
	"image/color"
	"image/jpeg"
	"log"
	"os"

	"github.com/vdobler/chart"
	"github.com/vdobler/chart/imgg"
)

func main() {
	style := chart.Style{Symbol: 'o', LineColor: color.NRGBA{0x00, 0x00, 0xff, 0xff},
		FillColor: color.NRGBA{0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff},
		LineStyle: chart.SolidLine, LineWidth: 2}
	c := chart.BarChart{}
	c.YRange.Label = "Total"
	c.YRange.Fixed(0, 56000, 5000)
	c.AddDataPair("Total",
		[]float64{1, 2, 3, 4, 5},
		[]float64{55954, 55653, 54100, 51527, 44034}, style)
	g := imgg.New(640, 480, color.RGBA{255, 255, 255, 255}, nil, nil)
	c.Plot(g)
	fo, err := os.Create("output.jpg")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer fo.Close()
	if err = jpeg.Encode(fo, g.Image, nil); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

Result: https://i.imgur.com/5dLCgVp.jpg

Y axis: 5000 is formatted as 5.0 k unlike all the other values (10 k, not 10.0 k, etc.)

X axis: the first label is somehow 500m (?) instead of 0 or 0.0.

How can I solve it? Thx~

At the moment if you tried to diff images to see if you changed anything, you get a different image anyway due to the use of the rand package.

TIL: github has a nice visual diff

Hello

The chart package looks very interesting, but it seems to lack a license?
