CairoPlot is on GitHub!
CairoPlot now has a Mailing List! For more information, refer to: this post.
CairoPlot is an API written in Python and uses PyCairo to plot 6 kinds of graphics.
Lots of changes happened since last post, CairoPlot now has a Logo, it’s not just me anymore, we have an all new repository and lots of new functions and options. Read the rest of the post to see all the changes.
As you all must’ve seen on the beginning of this text, CairoPlot now has a logo! Actually I did two but I ended up choosing this one. What do you guys think?
It’s not just me anymore! I’m happy to say that this release had GREAT help from João S. O. Bueno. It was his idea to change the code into object oriented style which turned out to be a great option for the project.
I’d like to apologize to everyone who’s been using v1.0 since June. Many changes happened and no one even knew they were there. By the time the repositories where changed, João had just started helping the project and lots of things were incomplete. After that, one change lead to the other and the only stable release came out now. Again, I’m sorry but I believe you all will be pleased by the changes.
To visit the new repository, just hit CairoPlot Launchpad.

I believe CairoPlot can grow a lot more, so if you think you can help, please contact me at [email protected].
Now for the exciting ChangeLog.
All the old functions are still supported with some little but important changes.
Every chart now has an associated class and a function.
The functions where kept to maintain backward compatibility and allow for easy use of the api.
The classes, however, provide much more customization as access to the cairo context or its surface.
All functions still have the background parameter, but now it supports colors (in tuple form, red = (255, 0, 0)) and Cairo Linear Gradients. The None option is still present and will generate the gray to white gradient of the previous version.
CairoPlot now outputs images on the following formats: pdf, ps, png and svg thanks to João.
Dot Line Plot kept most of its functions but got a little more customizable.
