SVG_Plot

Tutorial pages are intended for those who do not know how to use the program.
- The pages that begin with the tag "Tutorial: Simple" are for absolute beginners.
- "Tutorial: Full" should give the intermediate user a good reference, as well as show how the program can be used
- "Tutorial: Special" shows other features/options that the headers provide to the user.
The pages labelled "* Public Interface" give reference information for their respective subjects. You can find all public methods (and data members, when structs are concerned) in these sections.
If you have a feature request, or if it appears that my implementation is in error, please check the To Do page first, as well as the area's respective rationale section, if it exists. If I you do not find your idea/complaint, please reach me either through the Boost dev list, or email me at jakevoytko (at) gmail (dot) com

Admonishments

	Note
	These blocks typically go into more detail about an explanation given above.

	Tip
	These blocks contain information that you may find helpful while coding.

	Important
	These contain information that is imperative to understanding a concept. Failure to follow these blocks will likely result in undesired behavior. Read all of these you find.

	Warning
	It is imperative that you follow these. Failure to do so will lead to incorrect, and likely undesired, results in the plot

And the first admonishment I will use is as follows:

	Important
	This is not currently a Boost library. It is a GSoC project whose mentor organization is Boost.

Preface

The first task when dealing with numerical data is to plot it. Humans have a fantastic capacity for visual understanding, and merely looking at data organized in one, two, or three dimensions allows us to see relations not otherwise visible in a list of numbers. Computers, however, deal with information numerically, and C++ and the STL do not currently offer a way to bridge the gap. This library allows the user to easily plot data stored in STL containers with (hopefully!) minimal intervention.

This project is focused on using STL containers in order to graph data on a one-dimensional and two-dimensional (and if time allows, 3D!) plot. The plot will currently be written in an SVG image, compliant with the standard. The goals of the project are as follows:

To let users produce a simple plot with minimal intervention by using sane defaults
To allow users to easily customize plots to their heart's content
To allow the user to talk to the plot classes using coordinate units rather than pixels or other arbitrary measures
To create the backbone of a svg class that can be extended to fully support the standard
