* What is this package? PyChart is a Python library for creating professional quality PS, PDF, PNG, or SVG charts. It supports line plots, bar plots, range-fill plots, and pie charts. Because it is based on Python, you can make the full use of Python's scripting power. The PyChart home page is at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Yasushi_Saito/pychart * What you need You need Python (http://www.python.org) version 2.2 or later (on Debian GNU/Linux, you need, python-xml package as well). You also need Ghostscript (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) to produce PNG files. Pychart used to require Ghostscript during PS and PDF generation to obtain font metric information, but that's no longer the case. * Platforms supported In theory, PyChart works on any platform with Python. In practice, I've run PyChart on Linux and Win2000. * Installation Become a root and do: # python setup.py install Or, you can set PYTHONPATH environment variable before you start Python. For example (in bash): % PYTHONPATH=~/PyChart-1.33/pychart python mumbo.py * Documentation A detailed documentation is found in doc/pychart. * Examples All the *.py files in the demos/ directory can be run directly. For example, setenv PYTHONPATH .. python linetest.py >foo.eps gs foo.eps or setenv PYTHONPATH .. setenv PYCHART_OPTIONS="format=pdf" python linetest.py >foo.pdf acroread foo.pdf * About the author Yasushi Saito (ysaito@hpl.hp.com), a full-time researcher and part-time hacker. This program is created mainly to serve my personal needs to write pretty charts for research papers. As such, it is updated only when I'm writing a paper, which happens about once every half year or so. Anyway, if you have comments, requests, or (even better) fixes/enhancements, feel free to email me.
