Open Source Go Charting Libraries

Package chart is a very simple golang native charting library that supports time-series and continuous line charts. Master should now be on the v3.x codebase, which overhauls the api significantly. Per usual, see examples for more information. Actual chart configurations and examples can be found in the ./examples/ directory. They are simple CLI programs that write to output.png (they are also updated with go generate. Everything on the chart.Chart object has defaults that can be overridden. Whenever a developer sets a property on the chart object, it is to be assumed that value will be used instead of the default. The best way to see the api in action is to look at the examples in the ./_examples/ directory. I wanted to make a charting library that used only native golang, that could be stood up on a server (i.e. it had built-in fonts). The goal with the API itself is to have the "zero value be useful", and to require the user to not code more than they absolutely needed.
