CairoPlot: the better way to plot amazing graphics

How many times have you had to plot some graphics but they didn’t look good enough for you?
Well, Cai­ro­Plot is an API writ­ten in Python by bra­zil­lian pro­gram­mers that uses Cairo to plot graphics with a more impres­sive look in an easy way.
By now, Cai­ro­Plot has just rele­a­sed its 1.1 ver­sion and can out­put ima­ges on the fol­lowing for­mats: PDF, PS, PNG and SVG.
After doing some tests, folks, I want to say I’m very impres­sed with this software’s poten­tial. Here, take a look:
With this sim­ple code:

1
2
3
4
5
6

import CairoPlot
import cairo
import math
#Function Plot
teste_data = [0, 1, 3, 8, 9, 0, 10, 10, 2, 1]
CairoPlot.dot_line_plot('teste', teste_data, 400, 300, axis=True)

I get this graphic:

Or, take a look at how soft this line is:

1
2

data = lambda x : math.sin(0.1*x)*math.cos(x)
CairoPlot.function_plot('function_blog.png', data, 1000, 400, grid = True, h_bounds=(0,80), step = 0.1)

Or how impres­sive your pre­sen­ta­tion will be with a donut graphic like that:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

data = {"john" : 700, "mary" : 100, "philip" : 100 , "suzy" : 50, "yman" : 50}
background = cairo.LinearGradient(300, 0, 300, 400)
background.add_color_stop_rgb(0,0,0.4,0)
background.add_color_stop_rgb(1.0,0,0.1,0)
colors = [ (73.0/255, 233.0/255, 163.0/255),
           (80.0/255, 254.0/255, 228.0/255),
           (95.0/255, 255.0/255, 140.0/255),
           (75.0/255, 233.0/255, 73.0/255),
           (142.0/255, 255.0/255, 81.0/255) ]
CairoPlot.donut_plot("donut_blog.png", data, 600, 400, background = background, gradient = True, shadow = True, colors = colors, inner_radius = 0.3)

How to download?

The first part is to down­load and ins­tall bazaar
# yum install bzr
Then, get Cai­ro­Plot
$ bzr branch lp:cairoplot/1.1
