Chart::Strip - Draw strip chart type graphs.

       There are no known bugs in the module.

       The Chart::Strip package plots data values versus time graphs, such as used for seismographs, EKGs, or
       network usage reports.

       It can plot multiple data sets on one graph. It offers several styles of plots. It automatically
       determines the proper ranges and labels for both axii.

           use Chart::Strip;

           my $ch = Chart::Strip->new(
                        title   => 'Happiness of our Group',
                        # other options ...
                    );

                                         color => '00FF88',
                                         label => 'Jenna' } );

CreatetheChart
           $chart = Chart::Strip->new();
           $chart = Chart::Strip->new(
                                      option1 => value,
                                      option2 => value,
                                      );

       If no options are specified, sensible default values will be used.  The following options are recognized:

       "width"
           The width of the image

       "height"
           The height of the image.

       "title"
           The title of the graph. Will be placed centered at the top.

       "x_label"
           The label for the x axis. Will be placed centered at the bottom.

       "y_label"
           The label for the y axis. Will be placed vertically along the left side.

       "draw_grid"
           Should a grid be drawn on the graph?

       "draw_border"
           Should a border be drawn around the edge of the image?

       "draw_tic_labels"
           Should value labels be shown?

       "draw_data_labels"
           Should each data set be labeled?

       "transparent"
           Should the background be transparent?

       "grid_on_top"
           Should the grid be drawn over the data (1) or below the data (0)?

       "binary"
           Use powers of 2 instead of powers of 10 for the y axis labels.

       "data_label_style"
           Style for drawing the graph labels. "text" or "box"

       "thickness"
           Thickness of lines in pixels. (Requires GD newer than $VERSION).

       "skip_undefined"
           Don\'t  draw  a line into or out of a datapoint whose value is undefined.  If false, undefined values
           are treated as though they were 0.

       "boxwidth"
           Width of boxes for box style graphs. The width may also be specified as "width" in the  data  options
           or per point. If no width is specified a reasonable default is used.

   AddingData
           $chart->add_data( $data, $options );

       The data should be an array ref of data points. Each data point should be a hash ref containing:

           {
               time  => $time_t,  # must be a unix time_t
               value => $value,   # the data value
               color => $color,   # optional, used for this one point
           }

       or, range style graphs should contain:

           {
               time  => $time_t,  # must be a unix time_t
               min   => $low,     # the minimum data value
               max   => $high,    # the maximum data value
               color => $color,   # optional, used for this one point
           }

       and the options may contain:

           {
               style => 'line',             # graph style: line, filled, range, points, box
               color => 'FF00FF',           # color used for the graph
               label => 'New England',      # name of the data set
           }

       points style graphs may specify the point diameter, as "diam"

       box style graphs may specify the box width, as "width"

       line and filled graphs may specify a "smooth" parameter, to connect points using smooth curves instead of
       straight lines. A value of 1 is recommended, larger values will be less smooth.

       line,  points, box, and filled graphs may specify a drop shadow, consisting of a hashref containing "dx",
       "dy", "dw", and optionally, "color"

           shadow => { dx => 3, dy => 3, dw => 3, color => 'CCCCCC' }

   OutputingTheImage
       $chart->png()
           Will return the PNG image

       $chart->jpeg()
           Will return the jpeg image

       $chart->gd()
           Will return the underlying GD object.
