[elm-discuss] Charty: SVG charts library (feedback request)

[Juan Edi]

Hello everyone,

Today I released a library to generate SVG markup for charts.

It certainly worked for my particular use case but I'd love to hear if it
works for you or if I'm missing something.
There is still work to do regarding API design and features, but I thought
I'd better release soon and get some feedback from all of you.

Docs: http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/juanedi/charty/latest
Repo: https://github.com/juanedi/charty
Demo: https://juanedi.github.io/charty/

Thanks!

Hi Juan,

I just checked the demo app and the two plots there look great. But what is
it in elm-plot
<http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/terezka/elm-plot/latest> or
elm-visualization
<http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/gampleman/elm-visualization/latest>
(to cite the two most known elm libraries for plots) that you felt was
missing to start a new chart lib? Or did you know about these ?

Hi Matthieu!

I guess I decided to write my own tool for different reasons. I had checked
other libraries before but none of them seem to be exactly what I was
looking for (be it because of looks, API, available charts, whatever). To
be completely honest, I also felt what I needed was pretty simple and
decided to write it myself and learn a bit about SVG along the way. After
that, I was really happy with the results and decided to share it as a
library. There was a similar question in the reddit post
<https://www.reddit.com/r/elm/comments/66e12e/charty_svg_charts_library_feedback_request/>
if
you want to look at it.

I hadn't heard about these particular libraries until after publishing
Charty, and I believe they look really good. I am going to add some more
features to Charty because my original use case justifies them, and was
planning to do further work on it only as long as community reception
demands it, since it makes no sense to write code that no one will use :-)

Thanks for writing!

Juan.
