A simple GTK3/GObject graph plotting library.
This project was born from the need for making some nice looking plots in another project I was working on. Many years ago I had used the plotting facilities from GtkExtra but this module was never ported to GTK3. Having looked into porting the GtkExtra modules from GTK2 I decided it was too complex a task, given my requirements, so I started looking around for something else. I found Goat Plot but this had issues with recent GTK3. However it was almost what I wanted. Ultimately after a false start at fixing the issues there I decided to sketch out some ideas and write my own.
PocPlot is the result of that effort. I've been using this with no problems other than occasional bug-fixes for about ten months at the time of writing (September 2020).
PocPlot uses the Meson build system. Refer to the Meson manual for standard configuration options.
Meson supports multiple build system backends. To build with Ninja do the following:
$ meson [options] --buildtype=release builddir
$ ninja -C builddir installThe following build options are supported (defaults in bold text):
- -Ddocs=true/false - build and install the documentation.
- -Dintrospection=true/false - enable GObject introspection.
- -Dvapi=true/false - use
vapigento build Vala support.
A catalogue file, poc-catalog.xml is installed for use with Glade.
Note that the meson/ninja installer does not require an explicit sudo,
instead it will prompt for a password during install.
PocPlot depends only on recent gtk3 and glib.
Documentation is built during installation and is accessible using Devhelp. Usage should be fairly straightforward.
The name PocPlot is an hommage to GoatPlot (poc is Irish for a he-goat).
Being short, poc is also a convenient GObject namespace.
