[QUIZ][SOLUTION] #64: Text::Graph

From: Martin DeMello <martindemello@...>
Date: 2006-02-01 21:44:46 UTC
List: ruby-talk #177770
A port of Text::Graph, which generates pretty ascii bar graphs from
numeric datasets, like

    aaaa :       (1)
      bb :..*    (22)
     ccc :...*   (43)
  dddddd :.....* (500)
      ee :......*(1000)
       f :.....* (300)
     ghi :...*   (50)

It accepts data in the following forms (see the 'extract' method):

# { label => value, label => value, ... }
# { :values => { label => value, ...} }
# { :values => [values] }
# {:values => { label => value, label => value }, :labels => [...]}
# {:values => [values], :labels => [labels]}
# [ [label, value], [label, value], ...]
# [[values], [labels]]

Numeric parameters:
:minval
:maxval
:maxlen

Boolean parameters:
:log   # logarithmic scale
:right # label justification

Display parameters:
:marker
:fill
:separator
:style # {:bar|:line} - sets default values for marker and fill
:showval # numeric value after bar
