GD-3DBarGrapher

3DBarGrapher was written primarily to create "professional looking" 3D bar graphs.

It features:

• customisable colours, fonts and dimensions
• bar or column styles
• gradient fill option for columns and plot area background
• random bar colour feature to easily make multiple graphs on the same page more distinct
• XHTML image map output to enable displaying of values when moving mouse cursor over the bars

Example usage:

use GD::3DBarGrapher qw(creategraph);

my @data = (

      ['Apples', 28],
      ['Pears',  43],
      ...etc 

);

my %options = (

'file' => '/webroot/images/mygraph.jpg', );

my $imagemap = creategraph(\@data, \%options);
