plotting in the terminal
<img src="examples/img/basichist.png">what is it?
bashplotlib is a python package and command line tool for making basic plots in the terminal. It's a quick way to visualize data when you don't have a GUI. It's written in pure python and can quickly be installed anywhere using pip.
installation
install with pip
$ pip install bashplotlib
install from source
$ git clone git@github.com:glamp/bashplotlib.git
$ cd bashplotlib
$ python setup.py install
Either method will install the bashplotlib python package and will also add <code>hist</code> and <code>scatter</code> to your python scripts folder. This folder should be on your path (add it if it's not).
features
- quick plotting from the command line
- customize the color, size, title, and shape of plots
- pipe data into plots with stdin
usage
command line
<code>hist</code> takes input from either stdin or specified using the -f parameter. Input should be a single column of numbers. <img src="examples/img/histhelp.png"> <code>scatter</code> takes x and y coordinates as input form either a comma delimited file using -f or from 2 different files using -x and -y. <img src="examples/img/scatterhelp.png">
in python
If you want to use bashplotlib from python, just import histogram and scatterplot.
from bashplotlib.scatterplot import plot_scatter
from bashplotlib.histogram import plot_hist
examples
$ scatter --file data/texas.txt --pch .
$ hist --file data/exp.txt
$ scatter -x data/x_test.txt -y data/y_test.txt
todo
- sideways numbers for x-axis of histograms
- colors for individual points
- line charts
- trendlines
