[Caml-list] plot library

[Caml-list] plot library

[Yoann Padioleau]

Hi,

I have a simple dataset that I would like to plot.
My file contains:
Food 	2000 	2001 	2002 	2003
Banana 	4 	5 	5 	2
Lemon 	1 	2 	3 	4
Orange 	2 	2 	1 	3

and I want to display on the same plot the evolution of the food with some automatic
colors assigned to each food and automatic labeling. 

What do we have in ocaml to do that? plplot is the best library?

I've heard good things about Archimedes, though I never tried it.

Happy to hear that, but please note that Archimedes is still in development.
Automatic color selection and labelling are not yet implemented, but
you're free to give a helping hand.

Just installed it. Works fine. But I could not find a way to draw the legend
and label manually things.

For instance on 
Food 	2000 	2001 	2002 	2003
Banana 	4 	5 	5 	2
Lemon 	1 	2 	3 	4
Orange 	2 	2 	1 	3

What would be the call to Archimedes.stack ... 
to get the stacked bars with the right labeling and not too bad color (let's say red/green/blue for banana/lemon/orange).

Also is there a function to display stacked graphs, as in many-eyes:

I'm sorry, when I said labels weren't implemented yet, I meant the legend.
You may find an example use of labels in the "Text_labels" test.

You can place the legend manually using Viewport.text using the `Graph
or `Device coordinates (normalized coordinates of resp. the graph window
and the viewport) and playing with paths for making your legend box.
For example, you can place the text with:
  Viewport.text vp ~coord:`Graph 1. 1. ~pos:Backend.LB "Banana";

I invite you to check the latest bazaar trunk and take a look at the
test "Plot_stack" where you set the style to `Lines with :
  A.Array.stack vp ~style:`Lines data;
If the predefined colors doesn't suit your needs, you can specify your
own array of colors via the ?fillcolors optional.

If you have further specific questions on the use of Archimedes, I
invite you to discuss them offlist.

Thank you for your interest in Archimedes,

We do all of our graphics using OpenGL (via the excellent lablgl).

I'd like to see it.  Perhaps it's something for the humps?

I have some code which allows you to print the Gtk drawing area under
Windows.  It's very hacky - basically it is possible to get a bitmap
of the drawing area, which is then written out as a PPM file, which is
then piped into a separate "winprint" program which I derived from the
guts of the GIMP printer driver for Windows.  Anyway, let me know if
you want it.

It doesn't seem to be included in the Win32 distribution of LablGTK2,
but if you're using Cygwin then I presume it will compile given the
right libraries.

No.  This is one area in which the Gnome Canvas is actually inferior
to the Tk canvas widget.

Does it work in Windows too?

I've used the Gnome Canvas widget in lablgtk2 with much success.  It's
included with lablgtk2 in "lablgnomecanvas.cma".  It's based on Tk's
canvas widget but is much more powerful.  Unfortunately it's not
available for lablgtk, only lablgtk2.  You can find docs for it at
http://compiler.kaist.ac.kr/~shoh/ocaml/lablgtk2/lablgtk-2.4.0/doc/html/GnoCanvas.html.
