AX Module

The kdb-x ax module exposes components from the ax-libraries under the modules framework. The current components that have been ported across are:

• Grammar of Graphics (ggplot)
• qDoc

Prerequisites

Fusionx pcre2 is a required module, and needs to be callable via

use`kx.fusion:pcre2

The install instructions for that can be found here

Build Instructions

These instructions are for building from source, the pre-built module is available under releases.

Outside of fusionx pcre2, there are two kdb-x submodules included in this repo required for ggplot specifically. These are:

• qskia -> skia.$A.(so|dll)
• qbitops -> bitops.$A.(so|dll)

After building each from their respective directories, move the built shared libraries to the ax folder. Now it is ready to be installed.

Installation Documentation

👉 Install guide

API Documentation

The APIs match the ax-libraries APIs, with the benefit of being loadable to any namespace.

([qp;gg;qd]):use`kx.ax;         // all components
([qd]):use`kx.ax.qdoc;          // or more granularly 
([qp;gg]):use`kx.ax.graphics;

Simply replace .qp, .gg and .qd with qp, gg and qd respectively when referencing the ax-libraries API specifications (or the namespace you have chosen to assign the components to).
