usage
In the interpreter
Table.

table = outfancy.table.Table()
dataset = [(1, 'Marie'), (2, 'Joseph')]
print(table.render(dataset))
Chart.
import outfancy.chart
from math import sin
line_chart = outfancy.chart.LineChart()
dataset = [(i, sin(i)) for i in range(10)]
line_chart.plot(dataset)
print(line_chart.render(color=True))
To do (Colaboration is welcome)
- Translate code to english. (Translated) (the translation need revision from a native english speaker (I speak spanish).
- Improve y_interpolation function on outfancy.chart.LineChart
Maybe add more kinds of charts on outfancy.chart.
Maybe on outfancy.table:
- Checking system on width parameter.
- Option to cancel the automatical checking of width parameter.
