pygtkChart is a chart widget for GTK that offers line graphs and pie charts. It’s simple to use, but it is lacking one feature that I really wanted: bar charts. I added a bar chart widget to the package, but I have not been able to get in touch with the original author to contribute the code back. So, here it is.
Download: Clone from git://github.com/notmyname/pygtkChart.git or view the source at http://github.com/notmyname/pygtkChart/tree
Installation: $ python setup.py build && sudo python setup.py install
Description: I have added two new classes: BarChart and MultiBarChart. BarChart provides a simple bar chart. MultiBarChart allows for grouped bars. The code is fairly well commented and should be easy to follow.

UPDATE: a new version has been released

Fantastic. The code is on git://github.com/notmyname/pypastry.git. Clone the repository and have fun. When you have some changes, submit a pull request, and I’ll take a look. Once you are on github, I can add you as a collaborator to the project.

Hi John!
I’m the original author ;-)
I like your bar chart extension. I did not have time to take a closer look at your code yet, but it looks great.
btw: you can contact me at any time by writing an email to sven@sven-festersen.de. If you did that I have to check my spam filter settings….

I think you’ve done a great job with the package. I’d love to talk further about collaboration. I have just sent you an email about this.
