Overview

Gruff::Bar provide a bar graph that presents categorical data with rectangular bars.

Here’s how to set up a Gruff::Bar.

g = Gruff::Bar.new
g.title = 'Bar Graph With Manual Colors'
g.spacing_factor = 0.1
g.group_spacing = 20
g.data :Art, [0, 5, 8, 15], '#990000'
g.data :Philosophy, [10, 3, 2, 8], '#009900'
g.data :Science, [2, 15, 8, 11], '#990099'
g.write('bar.png')

Instance Method Details

#spacing_factor=(space_percent) ⇒ Object

Can be used to adjust the spaces between the bars. Accepts values between 0.00 and 1.00 where 0.00 means no spacing at all and 1 means that each bars’ width is nearly 0 (so each bar is a simple line with no x dimension).

Default value is 0.9.

Raises:
