Linux Graphics Software: Color Rectangular Cells Freely

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a straightforward method to color rectangular cells based on input data using Linux graphics software. The user initially attempted to use NCL-NcCAR but found it overly complicated. They seek a simpler, free alternative, with OpenOffice Calc suggested as a basic solution for setting cell background colors. However, the user prefers a more mathematical approach that generates images directly from input data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of data visualization concepts
  • Familiarity with OpenOffice Calc functionalities
  • Basic knowledge of scripting for graphics software
  • Experience with mathematical data representation
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Gnuplot for data visualization and image generation
  • Learn about Matplotlib for Python-based graphical representations
  • Investigate R's ggplot2 for advanced data visualization techniques
  • Research Inkscape for vector graphics manipulation based on data input
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for data analysts, graphic designers, and anyone interested in visualizing mathematical data through free software solutions on Linux.

I have problem like this:recetengular cells,each of the cells should be colored.I have tried with NCL-NcCAR but it is too complicated to write script for me and I do not want to waste time.Can anyone tell me about free software?

A quick and dirty solution might be to use OpenOffice Calc and set the cell background color as a function of the data in the cell.

Thanks,but I prefer something more maths related,like I give input data and get image.
