#                               by Hidetoshi NAGAI ([email protected])
#
#   * Part of tcllib extension
#   * Simple plotting and charting package
#
# (The following is the original description of the library.)
#
# Plotchart is a Tcl-only package that focuses on the easy creation of 
# xy-plots, barcharts and other common types of graphical presentations. 
# The emphasis is on ease of use, rather than flexibility. The procedures 
# that create a plot use the entire canvas window, making the layout of the 
# plot completely automatic.
#
# This results in the creation of an xy-plot in, say, ten lines of code:
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
#    package require Plotchart
#
#    canvas .c -background white -width 400 -height 200
#    pack   .c -fill both
#
#    #
#    # Create the plot with its x- and y-axes
#    #
#    set s [::Plotchart::createXYPlot .c {0.0 100.0 10.0} {0.0 100.0 20.0}]
#
#    foreach {x y} {0.0 32.0 10.0 50.0 25.0 60.0 78.0 11.0 } {
#        $s plot series1 $x $y
#    }
#
#    $s title "Data series"
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# A drawback of the package might be that it does not do any data management. 
# So if the canvas that holds the plot is to be resized, the whole plot must 
# be redrawn. The advantage, though, is that it offers a number of plot and 
# chart types:
#
#    * XY-plots like the one shown above with any number of data series.
#    * Stripcharts, a kind of XY-plots where the horizontal axis is adjusted 
#      automatically. The result is a kind of sliding window on the data 
#      series.
#    * Polar plots, where the coordinates are polar instead of cartesian.
#    * Isometric plots, where the scale of the coordinates in the two 
#      directions is always the same, i.e. a circle in world coordinates 
#      appears as a circle on the screen.
#      You can zoom in and out, as well as pan with these plots (Note: this 
#      works best if no axes are drawn, the zooming and panning routines do 
#      not distinguish the axes), using the mouse buttons with the control 
#      key and the arrow keys with the control key.
#    * Piecharts, with automatic scaling to indicate the proportions.
#    * Barcharts, with either vertical or horizontal bars, stacked bars or 
#      bars side by side.
#    * Timecharts, where bars indicate a time period and milestones or other 
#      important moments in time are represented by triangles.
#    * 3D plots (both for displaying surfaces and 3D bars)
