I'm pleased to announce version 1.0 of the Chart library - a library for rendering 2D charts in haskell. It supports a variety of plot types, and several different rendering backends.
Whilst the library has seen sporadic patches and releases in recent years, development has seen a huge spike over the last 3 months thanks to Jan Bracker's excellent GSOC work. The key changes in this release are: * The rendering backend has been abstracted, and there are rendering implementations for cairo and the diagrams library. The removal of the dependency on cairo should make the chart library more useful to haskell developers on windows and OSX. Jan Bracker has put a huge effort into this change. * The library has switched from using data-accessor to lenses to provide accessors for the plotting data model. Thanks to Ben Gamari for this change. These, along with various other API changes justify a 1.0 version. Details of the library and code examples can be found on the github wiki: https://github.com/timbod7/haskell-chart/wiki The packages and API documentation are on hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Chart http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Chart-cairo http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Chart-diagrams Tim Docker _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
