Subject: [ruby-talk:16182] [ANN] XML-RPC 1.6.2, httpserv 1.2, GD::Graph 0.1

Hello,

Today I made three new release (I know it's Sunday :-).


XML-RPC 1.6.2
-------------
* fixed bug in create.rb, XMLWrite::Simple (by Colin Steele) 
* a XMLRPC::Base64 object is no longer returned from a RPC call, 
  instead a Ruby String is returned.

httpserv 1.2
------------
* added URL mapping
* now has config-file
* works with IOWA -> pure Ruby solution, i.e.
  you don't need a webserver installed to experiment with IOWA.
  The modified iowa.cgi is included (works with Windows and UNIX).


GD::Graph 0.1
-------------
First release of this module.
Simply wraps Perl's GD::Graph and GD::Graph3d functions, so that you
can very easy create diagrams from within Ruby:

  require "gd/graph"

  graph = GD::Graph::Bars3d.new(400, 200)      # width, height
   
  # set options
  graph.set(
    :x_label => 'Day of Week',      # x-axis label
    :y_label => 'Number of Hits',   # y-axis label
    :title   => 'My Diagram Title'  # diagram title

    # all other options from Perls GD::Graph/3d available
  )

  graph.plot([
    ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"],
    [1203, nil, 3955, 2880, 3012, 1233, 1232]
  ])  

  # save diagram to file
  f = File.new("my.jpg", "w+")
  graph.jpeg(f)   # supports png, gif, gd, gd2 and jpeg
  f.close 

To run it you need Perl, Gd.pm and Perl's GD::Graph and/or GD::Graph3d
installed.



Regards,

  Michael Neumann
