Subject: [ANN] mrplot-0.0.1

Hi everyone,

I just released my first ruby project: mrplot

It is a general purpose plotting library, written entirely in ruby. You 
need RMagick to use it at the moment (additional backends will be 
developed in the future). I would still call it alpha, even though it 
creates nice plots.

You can find the project's site at:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/mrplot/

The docs/description and example plots can be found here:

There are a few known issues:

- The font metrics are wrong if you use another font or font size (I 
don't know if this depends on my freetype installation)
- It is very very slow, but I discovered the profiler not until yesterday.
- It is my first ruby program I've ever written and I'm not very 
familiar with the ruby syntax, so expect some major changes in structure 
in the next time :)
