Sharpallegro 0.0.2 released!

October 13th, 2009

I have been working on sharpallegro lately, which is still far from complete. But after being able to port most of the examples, I think it has enough funcionalities to be used in your own projects.

I’m also using it to develop some small games you will see soon and I found it to be quite mature.

If you need an idea of what sharpallegro is capable of, take a look at the Screenshot Section

PHP Lines graph script

July 29th, 2008

Since I was tired of creating ugly bar graphs I decided to explore an easy way to create a lines graph, mostly inspired by Google Analytics graphs. Ok nothing so advanced but the result is quite nice for my needs.

You can configure the image created by the script using the following parameters:

  • w: width of the graph
  • h: height of the graph
  • points: array of values separated by commas representing the points in the graph
  • labels: array of labels separated by commas to be displayed horizontally
  • rows: number of rows
  • color: the desired color in rgb format, values separated by commas
  • style: 1) bordered circle endpoints 2) filled circles endpoints

Following a couple of examples with parameters used:

graph.php?w=500&h=300&points=9,3,5,2,4,8,5
&labels=mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat,sun&rows=4
&color=0,119,204&style=1
