vfd 0.2.0

Vernacular Figure Description

Vernacular Figure Description

VFD (Vernacular Figure Description) is a JSON-based description system for plots. It aims to describe what needs to be plotted, while how it is done is decided when the files are opened. This allows to generate a set of files describing the plots, which can latter be batch-processed to produce a consistent set of figures.

Also check http://github.com/dih5/vfd/tree/master/external for tools to use it from other applications.
