VERSION

version 0.009

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

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

HTML::Show::show( Chart::Plotly::render_full_html( data => [$scattergl] ) );

use HTML::Show;
use Chart::Plotly;
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 );

HTML::Show::show( Chart::Plotly::render_full_html( data => [$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 )
);

HTML::Show::show( Chart::Plotly::render_full_html( data => [$bessel] ) );

Parameters

• data:

  Data to be represented. It could be:

  • 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.

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.

If you like plotly.js please consider supporting them purchasing a pro subscription: https://plot.ly/products/cloud/
