[GSOC2018] [Rubyplot GR] [17-07-2018] Better Bar plots and Stacked plot graphs

[Pranav Garg]

Greetings Everyone!

My Neuroscience summer school ended yesterday. Today I have worked on creating the Stacked Bar plots.

As visible from the image above, the stacked Bar plot takes in a list of colors as hex strings for different bar plots, I would like to replace the current color hashes (:red, :white, :green) with hex string. What are your thoughts on the same?

I also need to add a list of default colors that can be used in case the user does not provide a color list.

Also multiple plots in one diagram !!!

I will be in transit back to my hometown on 18th and 19th. I will try to push working candlestick graph before 20 (I have started working on it). Following that, I would like to work on implementing Subplots in the framework.

I would like to know the functionality that you think should be required in the library and the plots.

Regards

PG

Hi Pranav,

These look amazing. Great work!!!

As for the colors, I haven't this myself yet but I think having hashes for a few standard colors(hardcoded) would be good along with the option to use a hex string if the user really wants a very specific color so the user can do that too. Just one small thing, can you have some sort of labeling/legends in the stacked bar plot.

Regards,

Arafat

I agree with Arafat. You can allow the user to specify :blue or "0000FF". Both should work. Having some predefined colors within your code should help.

Also, good work on the plots. Please push the common scripting layer specs to rubyplot/specs so that it is visible to all.
