[go-nuts] Re: Graphing libraries in golang

[ajstarks]

SVGo is library for SVG generation, but others (some cited in this thread), 
have used it as a basis for building graphics and visualizations.  See: [1] 
 for examples (including how to interface to data, there's even a barchart 
[2]  example :)

AFAIK, go-gg (and its "subpackages") is what is used by perf.golang.org:
 https://perf.golang.org/

https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/14313-benchmark-format.md
 https://github.com/golang/perf/tree/master/analysis/app

so it's used by that package, and this more focused one:
 https://godoc.org/github.com/aclements/go-misc/benchplot

I don't think gonum/plot nor go-hep/hplot should depend on GOTA.
Nor do I think that GOTA should import any of those.

But, probably there is some space for another 3rd party package that import
both (GOTA, or your prefered data storage access/mangler package, and
gonum/plot or hplot) and then exposes an easy to use interface for quick
throw-away scripts.

You certainly are a good man and I have high hopes for your library too...

But before coming to Mailing list I check almost all of them and I didn't 
find anyone useful. The  https://github.com/aclements/go-gg package is not 
useful at all. Because there is noone using it and the last commit was 6 
months ago. It's more likely that the developer gave up on it. It's a 
common norm in open source don't use a new package which has a very old 
commit.



I have checked most of them. I came here seeking for a like-minded people 
who had created any graphs in go for actual projects. I didn't find any.

Hope you understand it. Good luck for your package I hope it can be useful 
in future. Just as a word of advice link it with GOTA. then it can be more 
intuitive for people from analytical background.

You need to install mercurial to retrieve the repository from bitbucket.

We may at some point drop this dependency and use one from GitHub (so there
shouldn't be anymore the need to get mercurial first...)

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.


Data is important, indeed, and knowing how you present it too :)

If you prefer a grammar of graphics type of library, there's this one as
well:

https://github.com/aclements/go-gg



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.

To get bitbucket.org/zombiezen/gopdf/... to install, you will need to
install mercurial.

SVGO would be so hard to pass a data to and design even the basic and 
simple *BARCHART*

other ones don't have enough documentation to understand how it works.

and The reason I am trying GO is that R is slow. There is no point in 
calling R from Go.
