DESCRIPTION
"HTML::BarGraph" is a module that creates graphics for one or more datasets, using plain HTML and, optionally, one-pixel images, which are stretched using the "width" and "height" attributes of the HTML "img" tag.Multiple customization options are provided, such as the maximum bar length, bar colors etc.
The main subroutine, "graph()", returns the HTML code for a graphic, and it accepts the following paramaters to define the graphic to be drawn:
- direction
- Default: "h". This arg indicates the orientation of the graphic bars (horizontal, h or -, or vertical, v or |).
- graphminsize
- Optional arg to specify the minimum size of the graph in the direction of bar length; this can be used to get a consistent size when multiple graphics are displayed.
- bartype
- Default: "html". This arg indicates whether the color bars should be build as HTML tables with a certain "width", "height" and "bgcolor", or out of a pixel image (value "pixel") ``stretched'' with the "width" and "hight" attributes of "img" tag.
- barlength
- Default: 100. This arg indicates the length of the bar (in pixels) for the maximum value to be represented in the graphic.
- barwidth
- This arg indicates the width of a graphic's bar. If this arg is missing, it is calculated based on "barlength" and "baraspect" (using their default values if they are missing too).
- baraspect
- Default: 0.5. This arg indicates the aspect between the graphic bar's width and length. If both "barwidth" and "baraspect" are set, "barwidth" is used.
- color
- Default: "blue". This arg indicates the default color to be used in drawing the graphic's bars for a single dataset representation (see also "colors").
- colors
- Default: "color". This arg should be an arrayref to a list of colors to be used in displaying the bars for multiple dataset graphs. If this arg is missing, the bars for all datasets will be displayed in color "color". If the number of colors is smaller then the number of datasets to be represented, the values are ``recycled''. See also the Note for "color" argument.
- pixeldir
- Optional argument to indicate the directory where the color pixel files are located; for web scripts, this will have to be relative to the "htdocs" dir. This argument is ignored unless "bartype" is set to "pixel".
- pixelfmt
- Default: PNG. Optional argument to indicate the graphic format of the color pixel files; the "lc()" of this argument's value is used as pixel file's extension (eg for PNG files, pixel files will be "colorname.png". This argument is ignored unless "bartype" is set to "pixel".
- data
- This is a required arg, and should contain the datasets to be represented in the graphic. It should be passed as arrayref of scalars (one set) or arrayrefs (multiple sets).
- tags
- If this arg is present, it should indicate the tags that should be used to identify the values in datasets. It should be an arrayref to a list of scalars, with at least that many elements as the number of elements in the largest dataset.
- setspacer
- Default: true. If true, this arg indicate that a space should be inserted to separate the consecutive representations of datasets, for a cleaner view. It is set to false on single set representations.
- highlighttag
- This arg has effect only for a single dataset representation, and only when "tags" is present as well (when dataset has no "tags", see "highlightpos"). It can be an arrayref or scalar. If present, its values are compared with "tags" values, and in case it matches one exactly, the color of the correspondent bar will be set to "highlightcolor" , if specified (see below). If both "highlighttag" and "highlightpos" are specified, "highlightpos" is ignored.
- highlightpos
- This arg has effect only for a single dataset representation. It can be an arrayref or scalar. If present, the color of the correspondent 1-indexed position(s)in "data" will be set to "highlightcolor", if specified (see below). If both "highlighttag" and "highlightpos" are specified, "highlightpos" is ignored.
- highlightcolor
- Default: "red". This arg has effect only when "highlighttag" or "highlightpos" has effect (see above).
- addalt
- Default: true. If true, the "addalt" attribute is added to the HTML "img" tag, having as value the value that is represented on the bar.
- showaxistags
- Default: true. If true, "tags" are displayed along the base axis, if provided.
- showvalues
- Default: true. If true, the values are displayed at the end of each bar.
- valuesuffix
- If "showvalues" is true, any text string assigned to this argument will be displayed after the max value.
- valueprefix
- If "showvalues" is true, any text string assigned to this argument will be displayed before the max value.
- bordertype
- Default: "undef". This arg sets the type of border the whole graph will be surrounded by. Valid values are "flat" (a frame of "borderwidth" width and "bordercolor" color will be drawn around the graphic, using "<table>" on "<table>" technique) or "reised" (the "border" attribute of the HTML "table" will be set to "borderwidth" value) (see below).
- bordercolor
- Default: "black". This arg has effect only when "bordertype" is set to "flat", and it indicates the color for the graph's frame). The value of this arg can be a ``well-known'' color name (ie white, black etc) or the RGB value, as specified in the HTML spec.
- borderwidth
- Default: 3 for "bordertype" set to "flat", and 1 for "reised". This arg has effect only when "bordertype" is set, and it indicates the width of the graph's border, in pixels.
- bgcolor
- Default: "white". This arg indicates the background color of the graph area. See format of color args at "bordercolor".
- textcolor
- Default: "black". This arg indicates the font color of "tags" and "values".
- title
- This arg indicates a string to be displayed as the title of the graph.
- titlecolor
- Default: "textcolor". This arg only has effect when "title" is specified, and indicates the font color of "title".
- titlealign
- Default: "center". This arg only has effect when "title" is specified, and it indicates the justification of the "title" on the graph. Other valid values are "left" and "right".
- fontface
- Default: "TimesRoman". This arg indicates the font face to be used in the text displayed in the graph. The "title" is displayed using size +2, the "tags" and axis labels (see below) in normal size, and the max values at the head of graph bars in -1.
- xlabel, ylabel
- This args indicate the labels to be displayed on the base (x) and values (y) axis of the graph. Note: for a horizontal graph, the names of the axes are reversed as normal (ie the x axis is the vertical one).
- xlabelalign
- Default: "center". This arg only has effect when a "xlabel" is specified, and it indicates the justification of the "xlabel" on the graph. Other valid values are "left" and "right".
- ylabelalign
- Default: "middle". This arg only has effect when a "ylabel" is specified, and it indicates the justification of the "ylabel" on the graph. Other valid values are "top" and "bottom".
- labeltextcolor
- Default: "black". This arg indicates a color for the "xlabel" and "ylabel" text.
- labelbgcolor
- Default: "bgcolor". This arg indicates a background color for the row and column that contain the "xlabel" and "ylabel".
TODO
- *
- alternate background color for dataset rows/cols
- *
- accept a formatting string for max values (for sprintf)
- *
- "showaxis"
- *
- support same size bars: ######___ 66%
- *
- ranges in tags, and "highlighttag"/"highlightpos" to fit in a range
- *
- accept args to specify the text height for title, tags, max vals
- *
- trick so that "ALT" attrib of "IMG" tags are displayed in netscape/linux
- *
- support for negative values (1 col/row for +, 1 col/row for -)
- *
- implement an object oriented interface
- *
- use HTML table building modules?
- *
- test in IE
BUGS
- *
- in several cases, the bars are not perfectly aligned (left for 'h' and bottom for 'v') and the values are written on the next line for 'h' graphics
- *
- values are not middle ``valigned'' for 'h'/'bgcolor' graphics
