RE: beginner question

Thanks for the pointer, Andrew.

There are tutorials and demonstrations on generating graphics using SVG.pm
at:
www.roasp.com

You will find the documentation for the SVG.pm module there as well

http://www.roasp.com/SVG.html



That said, roasp.com risks dissapearing any second now, so I have made a
mirror of the site at http://www.perlsvg.net

If you need hepl with your first graphic, let me know. I'm swamped today but
after Saturday I could show you step-by-step graph generation in Perl. It's
very simple using SVG.pm .

(here's a taste of Perl graphs...
http://www.roitsystems.com/eido/quotes/fxconsole.pl . It is a live,
streaming pure-per-generated stock and FX graph)

It's fairly advanced compared to a simple graph program, but if you wait a
few days, I'm going to be releasing SVG::Graph this weekend specifically to
handle graph generation (xy, bar only on first stab, pie graphs next). The
fundamentals for building a static graph are quite similar to the dynamic
streaming graph. The only subtlety is the javascript calling for the new
data.

    hi everyone,
    I have looking into SVG for about a few days, pretty much beginner,
    and I have a sort of general question:
    I want to create a tool (hope to do it in perl) which will generate SVG
    graphs ( bars, lines...) and will get all its params (look and data)
from
    XML files.
    What is the best way to do so? are there any tools which might help me
with
    this task?


  Ori,

  If you are interested in Perl and SVG take a look at
  www.roasp.com

  You might also want to be aware of the SVG-Developers discussion list on
YahooGroups.com:
