Overview

Here’s how to set up a Gruff::Scatter.

g = Gruff::Scatter.new(800)
g.data :apples, [1,2,3,4], [4,3,2,1]
g.data 'oranges', [5,7,8], [4,1,7]
g.write('scatter.png')

#disable_significant_rounding_x_axis=(value) ⇒ Object (writeonly)

Allow disabling the significant rounding when labeling the X axis. This is useful when working with a small range of high values (for example, a date range of months, while seconds as units).

Instance Method Details

#data(name, x_data_points = [], y_data_points = [], color = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: dataxy

Note:

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

The first parameter is the name of the dataset. The next two are the x and y axis data points contain in their own array in that respective order. The final parameter is the color.

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:

g = Gruff::Scatter.new
g.data(:apples, [1,2,3], [3,2,1])
g.data('oranges', [1,1,1], [2,3,4])
g.data('bitter_melon', [3,5,6], [6,7,8], '#000000')

Parameters:

  • name (String, Symbol) —

    containing the name of the dataset.

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

    An Array of of x-axis data points.

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

    An Array of of y-axis data points.

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

    The hex string for the color of the dataset. Defaults to nil.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    Data points contain nil values. This error will get raised if either the x or y axis data points array contains a nil value. The graph will not make an assumption as how to graph nil.

  • (ArgumentError) —

    x_data_points is empty. This error is raised when the array for the x-axis points are empty

  • (ArgumentError) —

    y_data_points is empty. This error is raised when the array for the y-axis points are empty.

  • (ArgumentError) —

    x_data_points.length != y_data_points.length. Error means that the x and y axis point arrays do not match in length.

end

#enable_vertical_line_markers=(value) ⇒ Object

Deprecated.

Please use show_vertical_markers attribute instead.

Allow enabling vertical lines. When you have a lot of data, they can work great.
