bashplotlib Documentation

To install from source, clone the repository and run the setup script using python.

$ git clone git@github.com:glamp/bashplotlib.git
$ cd bashplotlib
$ python setup.py install

You can install the bashplotlib package using pip. This will install the python package and add the hist and scatter command-line tools to your python scripts folder. Ensure your python scripts folder is in your system PATH.

$ pip install bashplotlib

To use plotting functionality within your Python scripts, import plot_hist from bashplotlib.histogram or plot_scatter from bashplotlib.scatterplot.

from bashplotlib.scatterplot import plot_scatter
from bashplotlib.histogram import plot_hist

The hist command creates histograms in the terminal. It accepts a single column of numbers as input. You can provide data via stdin or by specifying a file using the -f parameter.

$ hist --file data/exp.txt

The scatter command creates scatter plots in the terminal. It accepts x and y coordinates in two ways:

1. A single comma-delimited file using the -f parameter.
2. Two separate files using the -x and -y parameters.

You can also customize the point character using --pch.

$ scatter --file data/texas.txt --pch .
# OR
$ scatter -x data/x_test.txt -y data/y_test.txt
