PyGTK Chart widget beta release

We released a new version of pygtkChart today. This version is a beta release and allows for much more flexibility than the previous version. Some new features include the ability to independently address each part of a chart or graph and the ability to use GTK properties and signals. Mouse events are now supported, and hooks are available to click on individual areas of a chart.

The new version can be downloaded from http://github.com/notmyname/pygtkChart/downloads. As always, the latest source can be cloned from git://github.com/notmyname/pygtkChart.git.

PyGTK Chart Widget

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.
