Hello Team,

I was looking for an existent Ruby utility to plot a graph with given input.
I had not use any of the Ruby GUI available but perhaps someone knows or
have developed a tool to graph some values.
The tool needs to run under AIX (IBM Version of UNIX).

This is what the input will be:

TimeStamp Server Function R/T(MS)

Where:

TimeStamp: No need for explanation here.
Server: This will always be a two digits number.
Function: This will be a string.
R/T(MS): This will a a response time given in milliseconds.

Any help will be appreciated!

Thank you

Victor

If you are not looking for interactive graphs then you could try graphviz or
imagemagik libraries.

Looks like a standard time-series graph to me.

Try 'eplot' (easy gnuplot) which is a Ruby wrapper around gnuplot:
http://liris.cnrs.fr/christian.wolf/software/eplot/...

For more options see:
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/search.rhtml?se...

There was also a Ruby project (I think it was based on ruby-gnuplot)
that generated the most *dazzling* LaTeX/EPS graphs I ever saw. It was
written by a University professor, but I cannot remember its name... it
was "topika" or "to*" or "ika" or something. Googling around turned up
nothing. It had very nice RDoc documentation and lots of examples.
Argh, why can't I remember?

Does anyone on this list know?

Tioga

It produces pdf figures, I use it to create final figures for
publication. For quick graphs I use rgplot (gnuplot bindings) for quick
figures.

Seems like there are so many options a survey of available options
would be valuable.

Thank you! Tioga was exactly the project I was thinking of. :-)

Hello Team,

First, thanks to everyone for the many suggestions made.

I looked at Tioga but the documentation states "You'll need to be using
either Mac OS X or Linux." since I am running under AIX that's out of the
question.

I need to display a graph and refresh it at some interval.

I tried building the *gnuplot 4.2.2 *but it failed during the make phase
with the errors listed below.
I will need to look at the other suggestions made. For example RMAGick,
although I am not sure if it works under AIX.
If anyone had any experience with any of these tools under AIX, I will
appreciate if you let me know. That way I can cut some corners and time.

Thank you all
