This library enables to directly call matplotlib from Ruby language. This is built on top of pycall.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem'matplotlib'

And then execute:

$ bundle 

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install --pre matplotlib 

Example usage:

require 'matplotlib/pyplot' plt = Matplotlib::Pyplot xs = [*1..100].map{|x| (x - 50) * Math::PI / 100.0 } ys = xs.map{|x| Math.sin(x) } plt.plot(xs, ys) plt.show() 

matplotlib/iruby provides integration between IRuby notebook and matplotlib. This functionality can be enabled by calling Matplotlib::IRuby.activate.

require 'matplotlib/iruby' Matplotlib::IRuby.activate 

matplotlib/iruby also loads matplotlib/pyplot, so you can use Matplotlib::Pyplot module without explicitly requiring matplotlib/pyplot. And this introduces a post execution hook which put figures that are created in a cell just below the execution result of the cell.

See ipynb files in examples to see example usages.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
