Templat...ph::area(3)

💅 NAME

Template::Plugin::GD::Graph::area — ok so this is the plugin that makes area graphs with axes and legends, bestie. Like line graphs but with the space under the line all shaded in. Iconic behavior honestly 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

[% USE g = GD.Graph.area(x_size, y_size); %]

That's it. That's the whole vibe. You USE it, you give it a size, you go off 👑

---

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

Here's the full glow-up, copied exactly so nothing goes sideways:

[% FILTER null;
    data = [
        ["1st","2nd","3rd","4th","5th","6th","7th", "8th", "9th"],
        [    5,   12,   24,   33,   19,    8,    6,    15,    21],
        [   -1,   -2,   -5,   -6,   -3,  1.5,    1,   1.3,     2]
    ];

    USE my_graph = GD.Graph.area();
    my_graph.set(
            two_axes => 1,
            zero_axis => 1,
            transparent => 0,
    );
    my_graph.set_legend('left axis', 'right axis' );
    my_graph.plot(data).png | stdout(1);
   END;
-%]

Not me staring at this like it's a work of art 😭 Two data sets, two axes, legends on the left and right — she's serving main character energy fr fr.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the GD.Graph.area plugin is basically a little bridge 🌉 — it gives you an interface to the GD::Graph::area class, which lives over in the GD::Graph module.

What it does: it lets you plot one or more (x,y) data sets as lines, and it shades the area between the line and the x-axis. Chef's kiss. On top of all that you also get axes and legends, because presentation matters 💅

Let's give credit where credit is due, because these people literally built the thing:

• Thomas Boutell wrote the GD graphics library.
• Lincoln D. Stein wrote the Perl GD modules that interface to it.
• Martien Verbruggen wrote the GD::Graph module.
• Craig Barratt <craig@arraycomm.com> wrote the original GD plugins for the Template Toolkit (2001).
• Andy Wardley <abw@cpan.org> extracted them from the TT core into a separate distribution for TT version 2.15.

Legends only 👑✨
