code.google.com/p/plotinum has moved to github.com/gonum/plot.

Hi Friends,

Plotinum (code.google.com/p/plotinum) is a library for drawing plots

and charts in Go. I started Plotinum back in 2012, and it's been

relatively inactive for a couple of years now. With the closing of

code.google.com [1] it's time to officially hand over maintenance of

Plotinum to a new team.

Enter github.com/gonum.

This is an exciting time for the library, now called gonum/plot. The

gonum community (which includes me) has been preparing to take over

Plotinum development for nearly two years now. The Plotinum issue

tracker is closed and the issues and wiki have been moved to

github.com/gonum/plot. The folks at gonum are already making

enhancements and bug fixes, and have plans to greatly improve the

package.

The gonum/plot API is in flux. This is a good thing; it means that

we'll have a much nicer package. It also means that, until stabilized,

downstream packages need to be vigilant to keep up with the changes.

For those who want an unchanging API, code.google.com/p/plotinum will

remain available until code.google.com closes in 2016.

Feel free to join gonu...@googlegroups.com to discuss gonum/plot

development.

Best,

Ethan

This is great news! I used Plotinum in its infancy for all of the plots in my graduate work and still use it from time to time today. Have you thought to use gopkg.in to maintain the old/stable API?

Thanks, Chris. Glad you found the package useful.

I don't really know gopkg.in, but perhaps I'll take a look this weekend.
