SVGChart

A C++ Library for Making SVG Charts (fork of PPlot)

Alpha Quality Software

This is a fork of the PPlot plotting library. All of its documentation is still relevant. The big change is compliance with modern C++ compilers and a new SVGPainter class that can output SVG files. This project is at an alpha state of completion.

Compiler Support

This project has been tested with:

• Apple LLVM version 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.4) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.6.0
• gcc (Raspbian 8.3.0-6+rpi1) 8.3.0
• Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.20.27508.1 for x86

Including in Your Own Software

The easiest thing to do at this stage is just to include the four source files (PPlot.cpp, PPlot.h, SVGPainter.cpp, and SVGPainter.h) in your project.

Examples

Examples are in the Examples directory. For now, there is just one example of plotting average temperatures using a line chart. You can check out the code for a sense of how to use SVGChart.

Test Program

SVGChart comes with a test program that will output eight test SVG charts, and one painting test SVG. Just run make (or nmake on Windows) and then ./test (or test on Windows) to run them.
