Overview

Here’s how to make a Line graph:

g = Gruff::Line.new
g.title = "A Line Graph"
g.data 'Fries', [20, 23, 19, 8]
g.data 'Hamburgers', [50, 19, 99, 29]
g.write("test/output/line.png")

There are also other options described below, such as #baseline_value, #baseline_color, #hide_dots, and #hide_lines.

Constructor Details

#initialize(*args) ⇒ Line

Call with target pixel width of graph (800, 400, 300), and/or ‘false’ to omit lines (points only).

g = Gruff::Line.new(400) # 400px wide with lines

g = Gruff::Line.new(400, false) # 400px wide, no lines (for backwards compatibility)

g = Gruff::Line.new(false) # Defaults to 800px wide, no lines (for backwards compatibility)

The preferred way is to call hide_dots or hide_lines instead.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
