feedgnuplot VS vim-ipython-cell

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).

hanschen/vim-ipython-cell: Seamlessly run Python code in IPython from Vim with tmux

With stuff like https://github.com/dccsillag/magma-nvim or https://github.com/hanschen/vim-ipython-cell, I rarely never use a Jupyter notebook anymore.

I like to use Vim and Tmux on Linux, however, for Python I often end up using the Spyder IDE as it has the convenient functionality of putting all the plots in one window and allowing me to scroll through it when I have multiple graphs for a script. I am aware of nice solutions like https://github.com/hanschen/vim-ipython-cell and https://gontcharov.be/blog/vim-tmux-python that allow one to use VIM and TMUX. This seems like an excellent solution, but I am missing the figure component. Anybody has a good suggestion for that?

I personally have vim (or neovim) and IPython open in two panes in tmux and then use my plugin vim-ipython-cell to run the code. It supports running code cells similar to what you have in Jupyter notebooks, so you can for example have one cell that reads the data and another cell to make the plot, and then just re-run the plotting part.

If you'd like a Jupyter Notebooks-like experience, where you execute one cell at a time and such, try these together: - https://github.com/hanschen/vim-ipython-cell - https://github.com/jpalardy/vim-slime - tmux or you could try using vim's builtin terminal, though it's a bit... unideal - ipython of course. It's way better for interactivity than python3

If you use vim, you can also try https://github.com/hanschen/vim-ipython-cell . It works quite well
