A Go library for creating basic charts with focus on autoscaling, error bars, and logarithmic plots.
Chart is a Go library for creating basic charts and plots with a focus on technical features like autoscaling, error bars, and logarithmic plots. It provides multiple chart types and output formats while prioritizing functionality over visual polish.
Go developers and data scientists who need to generate technical or scientific visualizations programmatically within Go applications.
It offers specialized features for technical charting like error bars and logarithmic axes that are often missing in more general-purpose visualization libraries, while being lightweight and integrated into the Go ecosystem.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes error bars and logarithmic plots, crucial for scientific visualizations, as emphasized in the project's focus on functionality over aesthetics.
Supports ASCII art for terminals, SVG for vector graphics, and PNG for images via different graphic drivers, offering versatility across use cases.
Provides autoscaling with many options and fine-tuning of tics and labels, allowing precise customization for technical plots like histograms and scatter charts.
Built as a Go package, it integrates seamlessly into Go applications without heavy external dependencies, aligning with the Go ecosystem.
The README admits style handling, especially color, is 'a bit of a mess,' making customization difficult and error-prone for developers.
Time handling dates back to pre-Go1, which could cause compatibility issues and inaccuracies with modern Go time packages, as noted in the quirks.
Prioritizes functionality over beauty, so charts may lack polish for professional presentations without significant additional CSS or styling work.
The inclusion of text-based charts complicates the graphics codebase, as mentioned in the README, potentially affecting maintainability and ease of use.
