Charts can be customized using a configuration language similar to CSS. `plotfx` is a command line tool for creating charts and other data-driven visualizations. It is partially based on ideas from the "Grammar of Graphics" and the ggplot2 R library. One of the main goals for PlotFX is that using it should be simple and fun. PlotFX is a standalone tool - it is not required to know any specific programming language to use it. Charts are specified using a lightweight syntax that is very similar to CSS and input data is usually read from CSV files. You can run PlotFX from the command line, where it generates SVG, PNG and PDF output files. Additionally, you can embed it into your own application using the C API. **WARNING**: The project is currently a work-in-progress. I'm currently working on removing the old SQL chart specification language and replacing it with the new CSS-like syntax. This might take a while...
