SVG::Graph is a Perl module to visualize your data in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format.

SYNOPSIS

use SVG::Graph;
use SVG::Graph::Data;
use SVG::Graph::Data::Datum;

#create a new SVG document to plot in...
my $graph = SVG::Graph->new(width=>600,height=>600,margin=>30);

#and create a frame to hold the data/glyphs
my $frame = $graph->add_frame;

#let's plot y = x^2
my @data = map {SVG::Graph::Data::Datum->new(x=>$_,y=>$_^2)}
(1,2,3,4,5);
my $data = SVG::Graph::Data->new(data => @data);

#put the xy data into the frame
$frame->add_data($data);

#add some glyphs to apply to the data in the frame
$frame->add_glyph('axis', #add an axis glyph
'x_absolute_ticks' => 1, #with ticks every one
#unit on the x axis
'y_absolute_ticks' => 1, #and ticks every one
#unit on the y axis

'stroke' => 'black', #draw the axis black
'stroke-width' => 2, #and 2px thick
);

$frame->add_glyph('scatter', #add a scatterplot glyph
'stroke' => 'red', #the dots will be outlined
#in red,
'fill' => 'red', #filled red,
'fill-opacity' => 0.5, #and 50% opaque
);

#print the graphic
print $graph->draw;

SVG::Graph is a suite of perl modules for plotting data. SVG::Graph currently supports plots of one-, two- and three-dimensional data, as well as N-ary rooted trees. Data may be represented as:

Glyph Name Dimensionality supported
1d 2d 3d tree
--------------------------------------------------------
Axis x
Bar Graph x
Bubble Plot x
Heatmap Graph x
Line Graph x
Pie Graph x
Scatter Plot x
Spline Graph x
Tree x

SVG::Graph 0.01 is a pre-alpha release. Keep in mind that many of the glyphs are not very robust.
