chart-unit is a haskell chart library focusing on a small set of high-quality charts using native haskell. Here's a recent example, chock-a-block full of titles and legends (that needed testing):
So far, there are 8 major chart types:
Most of the behind-the-scenes grunt work is scaling data, projecting points from one range to another, and computing position. A key to making these computations neat was one = Range -0.5 0.5 and one = Rect -0.5 0.5 -0.5 0.5 as the (multiplicative) units of a chart range. See numhask-range for a monologue.
Charting is an age-old craft, and stuffed to the brim with cliche and jargon. I wanted to cut through the cruft of what is thought of as a chart (and charting has been dominated by excel for 30 years), and approach charting from a haskelly perspective. The funny names were the cohorts that popped out. A rough translation:
| ye-old Chart type | chart-unit type |
|---|---|
| line | LineChart |
| line chart with markers | GLineChart |
| scatter | GlyphChart |
| pie | pull requests welcome |
| heatmap | PixelChart |
| Bar | RectChart |
| Histogram | RectChart |
| sparkline | a skinny Aspect |
The main chart types and the power of diagrams make it easy to invent new charts. Hrere's some inspiration (all code for these charts is in examples/sourceExamples.hs).
