gnuplotlib VS plotext

Looks great, minor API usability note: I don't know if there is an official convention but when naming an object that has the potential of overriding a builtin, rather than prepending with an underscore, e.g. `_with`, one does append to it: `with_`. The former is used and recognised for unused variables.

> _with is a curve option that indicates how this dataset should be plotted. It’s _with and not with because the latter is a built-in keyword in Python. [1]

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
