Graphics.Rendering.Chart
Description
A framework for creating 2D charts in Haskell.
For the simplest API, see the Graphics.Rendering.Chart.Easy module.
When more control is required, understanding the various data types
is necessary. The basic model is that you define a value
representing a chart to be displayed (eg. a Layout), and then
convert it to a Renderable by applying toRenderable. This
Renderable is then actually output by calling a function in an
appropriate graphics backend, eg renderableToFile.
Currently, there are three types of charts:
Layoutis a standard XY chartLayoutLRis an XY chart with independent left and right axesPieLayoutis a pie chart
Layout and LayoutLR charts can be stacked vertically using
the StackedLayouts type.
Renderables can be composed in arbitrary ways using the
Graphics.Rendering.Chart.Grid module.
Many of the record structure involved in the API have a large
number of fields. Lenses are provided to access each field. Also,
for each record type, there is generally a default value, which can
be accessed through the def value of the Default typeclass.
