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
);

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.
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();
1. create an SVG::Graph instance

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();
