Engines

Next engines supported:

• Veusz
• Gnuplot (experimental)

Installation

Note: before usage make sure that the engine is installed.

pip install vplotter

Usage

>>> from vplotter import Plotter
>>> p = Plotter()
===> [Plotter: (engine:veusz)] is initialized [v.X.Y.Z]
>>> p.plot(x=[i**2 for i in range(10)], y=[i**3 for i in range(10)], key_name="first line")

If you see something similar to this:

So you have it. Nice!

Similarly you can use another engine: Gnuplot engine.

>>> from vplotter import Plotter
>>> p = Plotter(engine="gnuplot", xname="X", yname="Y", title="My Title")
===> [Plotter: (engine:gnuplot)] is initialized [v.1.3.0]
>>> p.plot(x=[i**2 for i in range(10)], y=[i**3 for i in range(10)], key_name="first line")
>>>
