Tim, Thanks for the pointer. Just to clarify: On 26/05/2008, at 9:09 AM, Tim Docker wrote:
I'd like 2D pie charts, bar charts and something like a google-o- meter.
An the moment it does line charts and a few variants of these. I'll add pie and bar charts when I need them - patches in the meantime gratefully accepted.
So the library itself supports drawing these other types of charts? Can you steer me towards some sample outputs? One thing I was most unhappy to discover was the lack of Unicode support in Google charts. Another is the lack of control over some colours (the arrow in the google-o-meter, e.g.) and labelling. When one wants to build an accessible website, these things end up breaking the deal. BTW Bjorn has written a binding to libgd. Does Cairo have similar functionality, e.g. quizzing an image file for geometry info? cheers peter
