Overview

Here’s how to make a Gruff::Line.

g = Gruff::Line.new
g.title = "A Line Graph"
g.data 'Fries', [20, 23, 19, 8]
g.data 'Hamburgers', [50, 19, 99, 29]
g.write("line.png")

There are also other options described below, such as #baseline_value, #baseline_color, #hide_dots=, and #hide_lines=.

Constructor Details

#initialize(*args) ⇒ Line

Call with target pixel width of graph (800, 400, 300), and/or false to omit lines (points only).

g = Gruff::Line.new(400) # 400px wide with lines
g = Gruff::Line.new(400, false) # 400px wide, no lines (for backwards compatibility)
g = Gruff::Line.new(false) # Defaults to 800px wide, no lines (for backwards compatibility)

The preferred way is to call #hide_dots= or #hide_lines= instead.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

#dataxy(name, x_data_points = [], y_data_points = [], color = nil) ⇒ Object #dataxy(name, xy_data_points = [], color = nil) ⇒ Object

Note:

  • if (x_data_points.length != y_data_points.length) an error is returned.

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

  • if you want to use a preset theme, you must set it before calling #dataxy.

This method allows one to plot a dataset with both X and Y data.

Examples:

g = Gruff::Line.new
g.title = "X/Y Dataset"
g.dataxy("Apples", [1,3,4,5,6,10], [1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3])
g.dataxy("Bapples", [1,3,4,5,7,9], [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3])
g.dataxy("Capples", [[1,1],[2,3],[3,4],[4,5],[5,7],[6,9]])

# you can still use the old data method too if you want:
g.data("Capples", [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3])

# labels will be drawn at the x locations of the keys passed in.
In this example the labels are drawn at x positions 2, 4, and 6:
g.labels = {0 => '2003', 2 => '2004', 4 => '2005', 6 => '2006'}
# The 0 => '2003' label will be ignored since it is outside the chart range.

Overloads:

  • #dataxy(name, x_data_points = [], y_data_points = [], color = nil) ⇒ Object

    Parameters:

    • name (String) —

      the title of the dataset.

    • x_data_points (Array) (defaults to: []) —

      an array containing the x data points for the graph.

    • y_data_points (Array) (defaults to: []) —

      an array containing the y data points for the graph.

    • color (String) (defaults to: nil) —

      hex number indicating the line color as an RGB triplet.

  • #dataxy(name, xy_data_points = [], color = nil) ⇒ Object

    Parameters:

    • name (String) —

      the title of the dataset.

    • xy_data_points (Array) (defaults to: []) —

      an array containing both x and y data points for the graph.

    • color (String) (defaults to: nil) —

      hex number indicating the line color as an RGB triplet.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
