49 SVG::Graph is a suite of perl modules for plotting data. SVG::Graph
50 currently supports plots of one-, two- and three-dimensional data, as
51 well as N-ary rooted trees. Data may be represented as:
52 Glyph Name Dimensionality supported
54 1d 2d 3d tree
55 --------------------------------------------------------
56 Axis x
57 Bar Graph x
58 Bubble Plot x
59 Heatmap Graph x
60 Line Graph x
61 Pie Graph x
62 Scatter Plot x
63 Spline Graph x
64 Tree x
65 SVG::Graph 0.02 is a pre-alpha release. Keep in mind that many of the
67 glyphs are not very robust.

70 SVG::Graph - Visualize your data in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
71 format.
72
74 You need to create a SVG::Graph::Frame instance from the parent
75 SVG::Graph instance for each set of data to be plotted. Datasets can
76 be hierarchical, and to represent this, SVG::Graph::Frame instances can
77 themselves contain subframes. SVG::Graph::Frame can contain:
78 - multiple subframes as instances of SVG::Graph::Frame
80 - a single SVG::Graph::Data instance
81 - multiple SVG::Graph::Glyph instances with which to render
82 the attached SVG::Graph::Data instance, and all SVG::Graph::Data
83 instances attached to SVG::Graph::Frame subinstances
84 See SVG::Graph::Frame and SVG::Graph::Glyph for details.
86 ONE DATA SET
88 1. create an SVG::Graph instance
89 2. create an SVG::Graph::Frame instance by calling
90 SVG::Graph::add_frame();
91 3. create an SVG::Graph::Data instance, containing
92 an SVG::Graph::Data::Datum instance for each data point.
93 4. Attach the SVG::Graph::Data instance to your SVG::Graph::Frame
94 using SVG::Graph::Frame::add_data();
95 5. Attach glyphs to the SVG::Graph::Frame instance using
96 SVG::Graph::Frame::add_glyph();
97 6. Call SVG::Graph::draw();
98 MULTIPLE DATA SETS
100 1. create an SVG::Graph instance
101 2. create an SVG::Graph::Frame instance by calling
102 SVG::Graph::add_frame();
103 3. create an SVG::Graph::Data instance, containing
104 an SVG::Graph::Data::Datum instance for each data point.
105 4. Attach the SVG::Graph::Data instance to your SVG::Graph::Frame
106 using SVG::Graph::Frame::add_data();
107 5. Attach glyphs to the SVG::Graph::Frame instance using
108 SVG::Graph::Frame::add_glyph();
109 6. repeat [2-5] for each additional data set to be added.
110 add_frame() can be called on SVG::Graph to add top-level data
111 sets, or SVG::Graph::Frame to add hierarchical data sets.
112 7. Call SVG::Graph::draw();
