AX Module

This page introduces the AX module in KDB-X.

The AX module for KDB-X exposes components from the ax-libraries into the KDB-X modules framework, making these capabilities easier to install, load, and use within a standardised environment. The current components that have been ported across are:

• Grammar of Graphics (ggplot) - a plotting system for building complex visualisations in q
• qDoc - a documentation generation tool for q codebases

The AX module adapts ax-libraries components so they can be:

• Loaded through the use mechanism
• Assigned to any namespace
• Managed consistently alongside other KDB-X modules

Key benefits

• Modular integration – aligns ax functionality with the KDB-X module system
• Namespace flexibility – avoids clashes and supports custom organisation
• Familiar APIs – retains the original ax-libraries interfaces
