Subject: ANN: SVG::Graph 0.3.0

Hi yous,

This is to announce a new project, SVG::Graph.  SVG::Graph is a
library for generating SVG chart graphs, which are a type of plot
where the values one axis are not scalar.  SVG::Graph allows you to
generate line, bar, and pie charts.

The home of SVG::Graph is:

SVG::Graph is a loose port of Perl's SVG::TT::Graph.  I say "loose
port", because I reimplemented most of the code; the original was
based heavily on templates, had a lot of duplicate code, and wasn't
very modularized.  However, if you're familiar with the Perl version,
you'll find the end-user API to be very familiar.

I welcome bugs, suggestions, wads of cash, cars, job offers... all the
usual forms of compensation and feedback.  Of course, this is open
source and free software.  There's a bug page at:

	http://www.germane-software.com/cgi-bin/roundup/svg-graph

There are screenshots here:

and here's a code example:

	require 'SVG/Graph/Pie'
	
	graph = SVG::Graph::Pie.new( {
		:graph_title => "Apple Pies Sold, Q1",
		:show_graph_title => true,
		:fields => %w{ January February March },
		:show_data_labels => true,
		:expand_greatest => true,
	} )

	graph.add_data( {:data => [24, 30, 12] } )
	puts graph.burn

Cheers!
