Graphics.Rendering.Chart

Description

A framework for creating 2D charts in Haskell.

For the simplest API, see the Graphics.Rendering.Chart.Easy module.

When more control is required, understanding the various data types is necessary. The basic model is that you define a value representing a chart to be displayed (eg. a `Layout`), and then convert it to a `Renderable` by applying `toRenderable`. This `Renderable` is then actually output by calling a function in an appropriate graphics backend, eg `renderableToFile`.

Currently, there are three types of charts:

- `Layout` is a standard XY chart
- `LayoutLR` is an XY chart with independent left and right axes
- `PieLayout` is a pie chart

`Layout` and `LayoutLR` charts can be stacked vertically using the `StackedLayouts` type.

`Renderable`s can be composed in arbitrary ways using the Graphics.Rendering.Chart.Grid module.

Many of the record structure involved in the API have a large number of fields. `Lens`es are provided to access each field. Also, for each record type, there is generally a default value, which can be accessed through the `def` value of the `Default` typeclass.
