Chart - swiss army knife for visualising series of numbers

2.403.9

This is the landing page for the user documentation.
There is also a download link on the left side under "Tools".

The git repository contains much more than the software package itself.
If you check out sources here, you have to build the package yourself.
In order to do that you need perl and the module Dist::Zilla.

cpan install Dist::Zilla   
    or 
cpanm Dist::Zilla


Then you have to check which further the Dist::Zilla plugins you miss:

dzil authordeps

and pipe them into your preferred installer:

dzil authordeps | cpanm


Than you can build a release yourself:

dzil build

Which gives you basically the same tgz file as under the download link
from CPAN (as describes under HOME), just with more up to date 
(and maybe buggy) sources. Don't forget to:

dzil clean

Once you downloaded or created a build, you unzip it and do the usual:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

This should install to your site_perl directory.

Perl 5.12 including some core Modules.
Lincoln Stein's GD module version 2.0.36 or higher.
Carp 1.35 or higher
Graphics::Toolkit::Color

Optionally modules of the Graphics::ColorNames::* namespace are
required if your color definitions calls for them.
(see Chart::Color for details)

In future we might require optionally SVG 2.5 and List::Util.
