Thanks for your reply. Library seems promising. but when I run it , this 
errors out



cannot find package "bitbucket.org/zombiezen/gopdf/pdf" in any of:
C:\Go\src\bitbucket.org\zombiezen\gopdf\pdf (from $GOROOT)
C:\Projects\Go\src\bitbucket.org\zombiezen\gopdf\pdf (from $GOPATH)



when I try go get on these packages they don't work either.

C:\Projects\Go\src>go get bitbucket.org/zombiezen/gopdf/pdf
go: missing Mercurial command. See https://golang.org/s/gogetcmd
package bitbucket.org/zombiezen/gopdf/pdf: exec: "hg": executable file not 
found in %PATH%

But there are a lot of improvements needed like

1. 49 lines of code just to create a flat basic line chart for random 
numbers. and that's when I haven't even got my data in from the database or 
did some background coloring.
2. Loops are not good while creating graphs you know them I don't I can 
miss one and mess it up entirely. With loops, I would never be sure if I 
have created the right graph. Loops should just run in the background not 
for me to see or create.
3. The syntax just doesn't feel intuitive. I feel like nobody would be able 
to predict the next command in the sequence. You must know now there is a 
grammar of graphics. it's used in ggplot2, ggvis, vega, vega-lite, and many 
python packages as well.
4. Analysts don't care about speed (maybe a bit) but data. What they do 
care about is their data code should be easy else your mind will be 
occupied by typing and thinking code when it should be thinking about data.


today I just feel like golang doesn't have ploting libraries they never 
thought it was necessary but straight away starting comparing it to python.

but can you please tell me how to run those examples. I am not able to run 
it. what am I doing wrong.
