" summary

A quick, practical survey of Ruby-friendly plotting options with code on GitHub: native Scruffy produces SVG line, pie and histogram charts but lacks analysis; Google Charts API generates embeddable images via a Ruby gem; JFreeChart via JRuby gives fine control and renders to files but needs Java jars and two pages of setup; Tioga (LaTeX) outputs publication‑quality PDF; Gnuplot easily emits SVG; R via RSRuby bindings performs linear models, clustering and statistical fits and integrates with Ruby arrays.
