Constructor Details

#initialize(target_width = DEFAULT_TARGET_WIDTH) ⇒ Base

If one numerical argument is given, the graph is drawn at 4/3 ratio according to the given width (800 results in 800x600, 400 gives 400x300, etc.).

Or, send a geometry string for other ratios ( ‘800x400’, ‘400x225’).

Parameters:

  • target_width (Numeric, String) (defaults to: DEFAULT_TARGET_WIDTH)

    The graph image width.

Instance Method Details

#add_color(colorname) ⇒ Object

Add a color to the list of available colors for lines.

Examples:

add_color('#c0e9d3')

Parameters:

  • colorname (String)

    The color.



271
272
273
# File 'lib/gruff/base.rb', line 271

def add_color(colorname)
  @colors << colorname
end

#data(name, data_points = [], color = nil) ⇒ Object

Note:

If you want to use a preset theme, you must set it before calling #data.

Input the data in the graph.

Parameters are an array where the first element is the name of the dataset and the value is an array of values to plot.

Can be called multiple times with different datasets for a multi-valued graph.

If the color argument is nil, the next color from the default theme will be used.

Examples:

data("Bart S.", [95, 45, 78, 89, 88, 76], '#ffcc00')

Parameters:

  • name (String, Symbol)

    The name of the dataset.

  • data_points (Array) (defaults to: [])

    The array of dataset.

  • color (String) (defaults to: nil)

    The color for drawing graph of dataset.



389
390
391
# File 'lib/gruff/base.rb', line 389

def data(name, data_points = [], color = nil)
  store.add(name, data_points, color)
end

#font=(font_path) ⇒ Object

Sets the font for graph text to the font at font_path.

Parameters:

  • font_path (String)

    The path to font.



260
261
262
263
# File 'lib/gruff/base.rb', line 260

def font=(font_path)
  @font = font_path
  Gruff::Renderer.font = @font
end

#margins=(margin) ⇒ Object

Sets the top, bottom, left and right margins to margin.

Parameters:

  • margin (Numeric)

    The margin size.



252
253
254
# File 'lib/gruff/base.rb', line 252

def margins=(margin)
  @top_margin = @left_margin = @right_margin = @bottom_margin = margin
end

#replace_colors(color_list = []) ⇒ Object

Replace the entire color list with a new array of colors. Also aliased as the #colors= setter method.

If you specify fewer colors than the number of datasets you intend to draw, it will cycle through the array, reusing colors as needed.

Note that (as with the #theme= method), you should set up your color list before you send your data (via the #data method). Calls to the #data method made prior to this call will use whatever color scheme was in place at the time data was called.

Examples:

replace_colors ['#cc99cc', '#d9e043', '#34d8a2']

Parameters:

  • color_list (Array) (defaults to: [])

    The array of colors.



290
291
292
# File 'lib/gruff/base.rb', line 290

def replace_colors(color_list = [])
  @colors = color_list
end

#theme=(options) ⇒ Object

You can set a theme manually. Assign a hash to this method before you send your data.

graph.theme = {
  colors: %w(orange purple green white red),
  marker_color: 'blue',
  background_colors: ['black', 'grey'],
  background_direction: :top_bottom
}

background_image: ‘squirrel.png’ is also possible.

background_direction accepts one of following parameters.

  • :top_bottom

  • :bottom_top

  • :left_right

  • :right_left

  • :topleft_bottomright

  • :topright_bottomleft

(Or hopefully something better looking than that.)

Parameters:

  • options (Hash)

    The optional setting for theme
