Hello,
I plan to develop a library in Haskell to draw charts, such as pie charts, bar charts and line charts, to visualize data. Functionality will be similar to gnuplot, or chart libraries that already exist for other languages. The chart library is for (part of) my master-thesis project and it is still in its planning phase.
There are several graphic-libraries for Haskell, but I couldn't find any specifically for drawing charts. To avoid that I am reinventing the wheel, does anyone know of such a library that is already developed or being developed?
There is a diagram editor called blobs based on wxHaskell, although I doubt that that's any good for your purpose. Rather that implementing it yourself, why don't you tell gnuplot to generate a png and display that in a widget? Does it have to be interactive (selection etc.)? Axel.
