*plotting in the terminal*

<br><br>

##what is it?

<p>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.</p>

##usage

<h5>command line</h5>

<p><code>hist</code> takes input from either stdin or specified using the -f parameter. Input should be a single column of numbers.</p>

<p><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.</p>

<h5>in python</h5>

<p>If you want to use bashplotlib from python, just import histogram and scatterplot.</p>

<pre>from bashplotlib.scatterplot import plot_scatter</pre>

<pre>from bashplotlib.histogram import plot_hist</pre>

##examples

<pre>$ scatter -f data/texas.txt --pch .</pre>

<pre>$ hist data/exp.txt</pre>

<pre>$ scatter -x data/x_test.txt -y data/y_test.txt</pre>

<pre>$ cat data/lower48.txt | scatter -s 40 --pch .</pre>
