--
-- An even simpler framework for creating 2D charts in Haskell.
--
-- The basic idea is to make it as easy to plot as octave, which means that
-- you provide no more information than you wish to provide.  We provide
-- four plotting functions, which differ only in their output.  One
-- produces a "Layout1" that you can customize using other
-- Graphics.Rendering.Chart functions.  The other three produce their
-- output directly.  All three accept the same input and produce the same plots.
--
-- The plot functions accept a variable number of arguments.  You must
-- provide a [Double] which defines the points on the x axis, which must
-- precede any of the "y" values.  The y values may either be [Double] or
-- functions.  After any given y value, you can give either Strings or
-- PlotKinds describing how you'd like that y printed.
--
-- Examples:
--
-- > -- this plotters
-- > import Graphics.Rendering.Chart.Simple
-- > -- rendering instances from 'chart-cairo' package
-- > import Graphics.Rendering.Chart.Backend.Cairo
--
-- > main = do
-- >     plotPDF "foo.pdf" [0 :: Double, 0.1..10] sin "- " cos ". " cos "o"
--
-- >     plotPS "foo.ps" [0 :: Double, 0.1..10] (sin . exp) "- " (sin . exp) "o-"
