I am searching for a way to create pretty, anti-aliased line graphs. I have looked around CPAN, but cannot seem to find anything. I might be overlooking something, though. Here's what I found, and why they didn't work for me:
- GD::Graph doesn't seem to do anti-aliasing, and I find it a bit of a bear to use.
- Chart has a nice API, and I like the layout of the graphs [charts, I mean] it outputs. But, alas, I don't see any anti-aliasing options.
- GraphViz generates output that looks quite beautiful, but it's only for the nodes-with-edges variety of graphs.
- Imager::Graph is promising. It uses Imager, which has nice AA support. It only implements pie graphs, though, and hasn't been updated since Apr 2002.
So, in desparation, I turn to the Monks. Is there anything I'm overlooking? If all else fails, I will probably create Imager::Graph::Line. Before I do that, I'd like to see if anybody knows of anything else. So please, let me know of any possible leads. Also, let me know if there's any interest in Imager::Graph::Line, so I will know whether I should release it (in the case that I make it).
