Chart::Manual \- Chart user documentation index
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
Chart is a collection of modules for visualizing numerical data.
It is designed for: (in that order) maximal flexibility, feature richness
and minimal dependencies. It can write \s-1PNG\s0 and \s-1JPG\s0 images into files and
\&\s-1STDOUT\s0 (for web and shell usage).
.PP
The early \s-1API\s0 is mostly borrowed from Martien Verbruggen's GIFgraph module.
.SH "TYPES"
.IX Header "TYPES"
Example programs with output for each chart type: Chart::Manual::Types
.SH "WORKFLOWS"
.IX Header "WORKFLOWS"
Ways to use Chart, broadly described: Chart::Manual::Workflows
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
Descriptions of all methods geared toward the user: Chart::Manual::Methods
.SH "PROPERTIES"
.IX Header "PROPERTIES"
The method \f(CW\*(C`set\*(C'\fR allows to directly change particular chart properties.
All of these explained in detail with their acceptable and default values
are sorted there by name and topic or type:

Chart::Manual::Properties
.SH "FUTURE CHANGES"
.IX Header "FUTURE CHANGES"
Much of what is documented here will be superseded by a new \s-1API\s0 provided
by upcoming version 3.0. The old \s-1API\s0 will be discouraged but not deprecated,
except maybe the module Chart::Composite and some properties.
The new \s-1API\s0 will aply only to objects created by Chart\->new(...);
