Overview

Deprecated.

Removed at 4.0.0

Base object for generating SVG Graphs

Synopsis

This class is only used as a superclass of specialized charts. Do not attempt to use this class directly, unless creating a new chart type.

For examples of how to subclass this class, see the existing specific subclasses, such as SVG::Graph::Pie.

Examples

For examples of how to use this package, see either the test files, or the documentation for the specific class you want to use.

Description

This package should be used as a base for creating SVG graphs.

Acknowledgements
