in reply to svg line graphs

G'day BernieC,

"From what I can tell, svg::tt:graph::xy can only plot a single data set."

Assuming you're actually referring to SVG::TT::Graph::XY, what are you reading that suggests it "can only plot a single data set"?

I've never used this module; however, a very brief reading of its documentation showed:

If my assumption about SVG::TT::Graph::XY was incorrect, please provide a link to svg::tt:graph::xy; otherwise, I suggest you read the documentation more closely, as this module already appears to provide all the things you've indicated you want.

    Mea Culpa. I see that now. I had skimmed through the docs on metacpan and didn't notice the subtleties -- except for the quiet mention, that you found {thanks for reading more carefully than I did} in add_data and config_methods, it kinda hid the fact of the multiple data sets. All my fault for missing it, and thanks - that looks like the perfect module for what I need.
      Another wrinkle:
      Files=5, Tests=178, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.05 usr + 0.03 sys = 0.08 C +PU) Result: FAIL Failed 1/5 test programs. 0/178 subtests failed. gmake: *** [Makefile:884: test_dynamic] Error 255 LLAP/SVG-TT-Graph-1.02.tar.gz C:\STRAWB~1\c\bin\gmake.exe test -- NOT OK //hint// to see the cpan-testers results for installing this module, t +ry: reports LLAP/SVG-TT-Graph-1.02.tar.gz Stopping: 'install' failed for 'SVG::TT::Graph::XY'.
      I checked on CPAN and, indeed, there were four testers who tried to get it to run on win32 and none managed it. I can't sort out the mess from cpan-install to figure out where the problem was {but I likely wouldn't be able to fix it anyway}. sigh

      So my quest continues, i guess. Is there another package that can do what SVG::TT::Graph::XY and works with win10/64?

        It helps when posting here to have the full error, so cpanm -vvv ModuleNameHere. Can you state which version of perl you are running? The fails on the matrix for windows relate to POSIX missing tzset, which may require working around, or perhaps raising the issue against Strawberry perl to add tzset support..
