UIGraphView

I recently wrote a custom view class for iOS. I wanted to display information in my apps in a chart view. Since there wasn't anything native for me to use, I looked around at the current open source options and nothing really jumped out at me as having a good balance of "this does what I want" and "this is simple and easy to setup." I wanted something that would be easy for me to plug-and-play into my current apps as well as future projects I might find it useful for. So after debating with myself for a while on whether I was up to the task, I slowly started putting things together myself, learning different aspect of Core Graphics along the way. I'm glad I did because I feel like I learned a good amount and, while I'm certain my code isn't perfect, I'm proud of myself for managing to put something together that does what I was hoping for.

So, long story short, I managed to throw together some code based on some examples I had seen, some structure I had learned from other things I had tried to use, and the things I learned along the way. To my astonishment, it worked. Then I started to thing, "hey, it's pretty cool that I managed to do this, but I wonder if someone else could use or (better yet) improve on this?" So after some more debating, a bit of reading on where to even begin, and a lot of refactoring and cleaning up, I decided to throw the code up on GitHub for anyone to use and maybe even help me improve!

Open Source!

This is the first time I've made an open source project. This is actually the first time I've even contributed to an open source project. So really, I might not be doing everything right, but I'm trying. I'm hoping that by doing this maybe someone else will find my code useful as well. Maybe I'll even get into a couple good conversations or have someone suggest ways I can improve it. I'm definitely open to all of this! I'd love to hear from anyone who uses the code in one of their projects. If you let me know, I might even throw a link to your project up the ReadMe for this one. Also, to anyone who does have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know! You can contact me on Twitter if you'd like!
