Sensible datetime scale for Gonum Plot

 June 28, 2021

Few months ago I posted a library for sensible int scale for Gonum Plot. There is a similar package I’ve developed to handle timescales. The integer one, being based on a recursive function, works with any number scale. Differently, this one will only work well with a timescale between 2 days and a couple of years. Extending it is not hard since it’s enough to add additional case statements in the switch, but I’ve not found use-cases for different timeframes so far.

Sensible integer scale for Gonum Plot

 January 20, 2021

Over the years, I found myself multiple times using Gonum Plot. I do find it as a very good and easy to use plotting tool for Go. The problem I found myself, over and over, dealing with is the tickers scale. If you know before-hand the values that can be expected to be created by the application, it is very straightforward, but the majority of times, this is not the case.
