feedgnuplot VS plotext

Thanks for the post. The obvious comparison is feedgnuplot: https://github.com/dkogan/feedgnuplot/

That works similarly in that it plots standard input. The backend is gnuplot, which is a double-edged sword: it's far more full-featured than brplot, but almost certainly is much slower also. I'll try out brplot to see if it would be a good replacement for cases where speed is important. Thanks!

Oh hey Dima.

Feedgnuplot is really slick.

It's in the debian repos too.

Is there a declarative language or framework to create ad-hoc GUIs that consume structured data from stdin stream and spit-out a GUI?

Like feedgnuplot [1] but not only restricted to graphs.

I found using shell as an interactive environment to be pretty productive using https://github.com/dkogan/feedgnuplot and https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog. The filesystem becomes your state (instead of in memory state of your Python interpreter) which forces you to write Unix-style tools. Plotting with feedgnuplot spins up an interactive Qt plotter which I often used to explore 3D plots. It's not "inline" and fancy and does take a bit of grokking but I eventually found it more productive than Jupyter, especially as my development moved away from Python.

One of the tools I absolutely love is feedgnuplot which presents a stdin CLI interface to gnuplot.

Also, if one doesn't want to learn Gnuplot's DSL try using feedgnuplot which presents a stdin interface for whitespace delimited tabular data.

Write space delimited tabular data (ideally in vnlog format) and plot it using feedgnuplot. Also helps decouple concerns (data generating application focuses on generating data).

To plot the graph, we will use a python package called plotext. Plotext lets you plot scatter, line, bar, histogram, and date-time plots (including candlesticks) directly on the terminal. First, we need to install this package.

Plotext works similar but isn't as magical.

nice little project :)

on a tangent I was playing with https://github.com/piccolomo/plotext for a bit (especially on a data analysis server connected over ssh it's quite useful, if you don't have the bandwidth to start a jupyter notebook).

I have shared my Zettelkasten before, but I stumbled across plotext today. It creates plots and displays them directly in the terminal. I wrote a little python script that parses all my notes, aggregates them according to the month they were written and then plots them in a time series. Super fun little project. If your notes are file names formatted as `yyyymmddHHMM` the script should work for you as well. Hopefully someone else finds this useful.

There’s a ticket for that https://github.com/piccolomo/plotext/issues/26
