<p>JpGraph library is an OO graph library which makes it easy to both draw a "quick and
|
|||
|
|
dirty" graph with a minimum of code and quite complex graphs which requires a very fine
|
|||
|
|
grain of control. The library tries to assign sensible default values for most parameters
|
|||
|
|
hence making the learning curve quite flat since for most of the time very few commands are
|
|||
|
|
required to draw graphs with a pleasing esthetic look.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The following list makes no claim to be complete but it will give a birds view of some of
|
|||
|
|
the main (and in some cases unique) features of the library. The list will also illustrate
|
|||
|
|
the difference between the free and the pro-version.</p>

<p>In addition to these high level features the library has been designed to be orthogonal
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
<code class="code">SetColor()</code> with the same signature. </p>
