NAME

Chart::GGPlot - ggplot2 port in Perl

VERSION

version 0.002003

STATUS

At this moment this library is experimental and still under active
development (at my after-work time). It’s still quite incomplete compared
to R’s ggplot2 library, but the core features are working.

SYNOPSIS

use Chart::GGPlot qw(:all);
use Data::Frame::Examples qw(mtcars);
my $plot = ggplot(
    data => mtcars(),
    mapping => aes( x => 'wt', y => 'mpg' )
)->geom_point();
# show in browser
$plot->show;
# export to image file
$plot->save('mtcars.png');
# see "examples" dir of this library's distribution for more examples.

DESCRIPTION

This Chart-GGPlot library is an implementation of
ggplot2 in Perl. It’s designed to
be possible to support multiple plotting backends. And it ships a default
backend which uses Chart::Plotly.

This Chart::GGPlot module is the function interface of the Perl Chart-GGPlot
library.

Example exported image files:

See the examples dir in the library’s distribution for more examples.

Document Conventions

Function signatures in docs of this library follow the
Function::Parameters conventions, for example,

myfunc(Type1 $positional_parameter, Type2 :$named_parameter)

FUNCTIONS

ggplot

ggplot(:$data, :$mapping, %rest)

This is same as Chart::Plot->new(...).
See Chart::Plot for details.

qplot

qplot((Piddle1D|ArrayRef) :$x, (Piddle1D|ArrayRef) :$y,
    Str :$geom='auto',
    :$xlim=undef, :$ylim=undef,
    Str :$log='',
    Maybe[Str] :$title=undef, Str :$xlab='x', Str :$ylab='y',
    %rest)

Arguments:

• $x, $y

  Data. Supports either 1D piddles or arrayrefs. When arrayref is specified, it
  would be converted to either a numeric piddle or a PDL::SV piddle, guessing by
  its contents.

• $geom

  Geom type. "auto" is treated as 'point'.
  It would internally call a geom_${geom} function.

• $xlim, $ylim

  Axes limits.

• $log

  Which axis use logarithmic scale?
  One of '', 'x', 'y', 'xy'.

• $title

  Plot title. Default is undef, for no title.

• $xlabel, $ylabel

  Axes labels.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

CHART_GGPLOT_TRACE

A positive integer would enable debug messages.
