从 CSV 文件自动创建图表的工具（在 ANT 中）

Question

我目前正在测试一个编写几个 CSV 文件的软件。现在我正在寻找一种免费工具来从该文件中自动生成图表（图像）。我正在与 Eclipse 合作，我正在与 ANT 合作构建我的项目。因此，与 ANT 一起使用的工具（可能在 Java 中）会很棒。

目前，我必须手动完成许多步骤：

• 转到文件所在的文件夹
• 打开和编辑文件（用数字替换 . ）
• 在打开的办公室中打开文件
• 创建图表
• 导出

有人知道如何自动化这个过程（甚至是其中的一些步骤）吗？

Answer 1

选项 1

在unix上一个非常有用的生成图表的程序是gnuplot。

我还发现了一个 csv2gnuplot script，您可以在 shell 脚本中使用它来批处理文件。

选项 2

如果您使用的是 ANT/Java 解决方案（也许您使用的是 Windows），那么我使用 jfreechart 调整了 following example

ivy.xml

ivy 插件使 ANT 能够与 Maven 存储库通信。

<ivy-module version="2.0">
    <info organisation="org.myspotontheweb" module="demo"/>
    <configurations defaultconfmapping="build->default">
        <conf name="build" description="ANT tasks"/>
    </configurations>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency org="org.codehaus.groovy" name="groovy-all" rev="1.8.2"/>
        <dependency org="jfree" name="jfreechart" rev="1.0.13"/>
        <dependency org="jfree" name="jcommon" rev="1.0.15" force="true"/>
    </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

注意： 最新版本的 jfreechart 对 jcommon 版本 1.0.16 的依赖已损坏（Maven Central 中不存在）

Answer 2

您可以为此使用XChart，因为从CSV 文件创建Charts 是自version 2.2.0 以来的一项新功能。代码看起来像这样：

// import chart from a folder containing CSV files
Chart chart = CSVImporter.getChartFromCSVDir("./path/to/dir/with/csv/files/", DataOrientation.Columns, 600, 600);

// Show it
new SwingWrapper(chart).displayChart();

// Save it
BitmapEncoder.savePNG(chart, "./Sample_Chart.png");
BitmapEncoder.savePNGWithDPI(chart, "./Sample_Chart_300_DPI.png", 300);

CSV 文件中的数据可以是水平的也可以是垂直的，每个 CSV 文件应包含单个系列的数据。

您也可以反过来将Chart 数据导出到 CSV 文件中：

CSVExporter.writeCSVColumns(chart.getSeriesMap().get(0), "./path/to/dir//");

你可以使用Open Office API，也有一些samples for Java in the wiki
