基于Perl语言的高级维恩图的设计

Design of High-level Venn Diagram Based on Perl Language J

由于在科研或者教学工作中需要美观化展现不同数据集的交集,目前维恩图在各个学科领域应用广泛。但受制于目前绘制工具和平台的限制,在线维恩图绘制方法软件提供的绘制维度普遍小于5个,所以科研工作人员迫切地需要一款绘图方法来表达更高维度的维恩图进而展现自己的结果。该文利用Perl语言和SVG相结合,开发出一套可绘制高纬度维恩图的方法,仅需要准备好纯文本数据文件,执行程序命令即可得到高质量的维恩矢量图。

Because the intersection of different data sets needs to be aesthetically displayed in scientific research or teaching work,Venn diagrams are currently widely used in various disciplines.However,due to the limitations of the current drawing tools and platforms,the online Venn diagram drawing method software provides generally less than 5 drawing dimensions.Therefore,scientific researchers urgently need a drawing method to express a higher dimensional Venn diagram to show themselves their results.Using the combination of Perl language and SVG,this paper developed a set of methods that can draw high-latitude Venn diagrams.We just need to prepare a plain text data file and execute commands to get the target high-quality diagram.
