@ -3,11 +3,25 @@ Graphy
Graphy is a chart library for python. It tries to get out of the way and just
let you work with your data.
The examples in the examples directory assume graphy is in the PYTHONPATH,
so you might need to invoke them like this:
$ cd examples
$ PYTHONPATH=.. ./traffic.py
For more information, see http://code.google.com/p/graphy/
For license info, see the LICENSE file.
INSTALLATION:
No installer yet, so just manually copy graphy/ into python-lib/graphy.
QUICK START:
from graphy.backends import google_chart_api
monthly_rainfall = [3.2, 3.2, 2.7, 0.9, 0.4, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.2, 0.9, 1.8, 2.3]
months = 'Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec'.split()
chart = google_chart_api.LineChart(monthly_rainfall)
chart.bottom.labels = months
print chart.display.Url(400, 100)
EXAMPLES:
The examples in the examples/ directory assume graphy is in the PYTHONPATH.
If just want to run them without installing graphy first, you will need to do
something like this:
$ cd examples
$ PYTHONPATH=.. ./traffic.py
