termplotlib is a Python library for all your terminal plotting needs. It aims to work like matplotlib.

Line plots

For line plots, termplotlib relies on gnuplot. With that installed, the code

import termplotlib as tpl
import numpy

x = numpy.linspace(0, 2 * numpy.pi, 10)
y = numpy.sin(x)

fig = tpl.figure()
fig.plot(x, y, label="data", width=50, height=15)
fig.show()

produces

Horizontal histograms

import termplotlib as tpl
import numpy

numpy.random.seed(123)
sample = numpy.random.normal(size=1000)
counts, bin_edges = numpy.histogram(sample)

fig = tpl.figure()
fig.hist(counts, bin_edges, orientation="horizontal", force_ascii=False)
fig.show()

produces

hist1

Horizontal bar charts are covered as well. This

fig = tpl.figure()
fig.barh(
    [3, 10, 5, 2],
    ['Cats', 'Dogs', 'Cows', 'Geese'],
    force_ascii=True
)
fig.show()

produces

Cats   [ 3]  ************
Dogs   [10]  ****************************************
Cows   [ 5]  ********************
Geese  [ 2]  ********

Vertical histograms

import termplotlib as tpl
import numpy

numpy.random.seed(123)
sample = numpy.random.normal(size=1000)
counts, bin_edges = numpy.histogram(sample, bins=40)
fig = tpl.figure()
fig.hist(counts, bin_edges, grid=[15, 25], force_ascii=False)
fig.show()

produces

hist2

Tables

Support for tables has moved over to termtables.
