NAME

Chart::Plotly - Generate html/javascript charts from perl data using javascript library plotly.js

VERSION

version 0.039

SYNOPSIS

use Chart::Plotly 'show_plot';

my $data = { x    => [ 1 .. 10 ],
             mode => 'markers',
             type => 'scatter'
};
$data->{'y'} = [ map { rand 10 } @{ $data->{'x'} } ];

show_plot([$data]);

use aliased 'Chart::Plotly::Trace::Scattergl';

my $big_array = [ 1 .. 10000 ];
my $scattergl = Scattergl->new( x => $big_array, y => [ map { rand 100 } @$big_array ] );

show_plot([$scattergl]);

use Chart::Plotly qw(show_plot);
use PDL;

use aliased 'Chart::Plotly::Trace::Surface';

my $size = 25;
my $x    = ( xvals zeroes $size+ 1, $size + 1 ) / $size;
my $y    = ( yvals zeroes $size+ 1, $size + 1 ) / $size;
my $z    = 0.5 + 0.5 * ( sin( $x * 6.3 ) * sin( $y * 6.3 ) )**3;    # Bumps

my $surface = Surface->new( x => $x, y => $y, z => $z );

show_plot([$surface]);

use PDL::Math;

my $bessel_size = 50;
my $bessel      = Surface->new(
    x => xvals($bessel_size),
    y => xvals($bessel_size),
    z => bessj0( rvals( zeroes( $bessel_size, $bessel_size ) ) / 2 )
);

show_plot([$bessel]);

DESCRIPTION

Generate html/javascript charts from perl data using javascript library plotly.js. The result is a file that you could see in your favourite browser.

Example screenshot of plot generated with examples/anscombe.pl:

Anscombe's quartet plotted with plotly

Example screenshot of plots generated with examples/traces/*.pl:

Montage of all examples

The API is subject to changes.

render_full_html

Parameters

  • data:

    Data to be represented. It could be:

    Perl data structure of the json expected by plotly.js: http://plot.ly/javascript/reference/ (this data would be serialized to JSON)
    Array ref of objects of type Chart::Plotly::Trace::*
    Anything that could be serialized to JSON with the json expected by plotly.js
    Object that could be adapted using Chart::Plotly::Adapter::*

html_plot

Return the html for the plot or plots

Parameters

Data to be represented. The format is the same as the parameter data in render_full_html. Accepts multiple traces/plots/objects.

show_plot

Opens the plot or plots in a browser locally

Parameters

Data to be represented. The format is the same as the parameter data in render_full_html. Accepts multiple traces/plots/objects.

plotlyjs_version

Returns the version of plotly.js using in this version of the perl module as a string

plotlyjs_plot_function

Returns the name of function of plotly.js used in this version of the perl module to draw plots

plotlyjs_plot_function_parameters

Returns the function parameters of the function of plotly.js used in this version of the perl module to draw plots as a list of strings

BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests via github: https://github.com/pablrod/p5-Chart-Plotly/issues

DISCLAIMER

This is an unofficial Plotly Perl module. Currently I'm not affiliated in any way with Plotly. But I think plotly.js is a great library and I want to use it with perl.
