VPlotLib

2D Plotting library for V, inspired by Python's matplotlib

Quick example:

import vplotlib as vpl
import gx

fn main() {
	x, x1, y, y1, s := ... // inputs

	mut fig := vpl.new_figure(rows: 1)!
	fig.plot([
		vpl.line(x: x1, y: y1),
		vpl.line(x: x, y: y, color: gx.green, line_type: .dashed),
		vpl.scatter(x: x, y: y, s: s, color: gx.red),
		vpl.scatter(x: x1, y: y1, s: s, color: gx.cyan, marker: .square),
	])!
	fig.set_title('Hello Plot')
	fig.set_xlabel('x-axis')
	fig.set_ylabel('y-axis')
	fig.show()
}

Sub Plots Example

mut fig := vpl.new_figure(rows: 2, cols: 2)!
fig.subplot(0, 0, [vpl.line(x: x1, y: y1)])!
fig.subplot(0, 1, [vpl.line(x: x, y: y, color: gx.green, line_type: .dashed)])!
fig.subplot(1, 0, [vpl.scatter(x: x, y: y, s: s, color: gx.red)])!
fig.subplot(1, 1, [vpl.scatter(x: x1, y: y1, s: s, color: gx.cyan, marker: .square)])!

fig.set_attributes(0, 0, title: 'SubPlot00', xlabel: 'x-axis', ylabel: 'y-axis')!
fig.set_attributes(0, 1, title: 'SubPlot01', xlabel: 'x-axis', ylabel: 'y-axis')!
fig.set_attributes(1, 0, title: 'SubPlot10', xlabel: 'x-axis', ylabel: 'y-axis')!
fig.set_attributes(1, 1, title: 'SubPlot11', xlabel: 'x-axis', ylabel: 'y-axis')!

fig.show()

To Add a new plot

Suppose anybody wants to add a new type of plot i.e. violin plot, then do the following:

• Add a new file src/violin.v. Ideally this is the only file that needs to be added/edited.
• This file must contain the following:
  1. A struct that implements interface Plot. The struct need not be public. The name of struct should be like ViolinPlot
  2. A public function with same name as the plot and returns ViolinPlot, i.e. pub fn violin(ViolinParams) ViolinPlot. This function will be used by end-user. This function should contain any preprecessing logic that is required.
  3. A pub struct like ViolinParams that helps taking inputs and setting default values required by the plot.
  4. Finally a private function that contains actual logic to draw the plot. i.e. fn (plot &ViolinPlot) draw(ctx &gg.Context, sfig &SubFigure)
• Add an example for the new plot in examples/ and test it.
• Ideally this should be enough and no other files needs to be touched.
