Go package to make lightweight ASCII line graphs ╭┈╯.

image

Installation

go get github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph

Usage

Basic graph

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph"
)

func main() {
    data := []float64{3, 4, 9, 6, 2, 4, 5, 8, 5, 10, 2, 7, 2, 5, 6}
    graph := asciigraph.Plot(data)

    fmt.Println(graph)
}

Running this example would render the following graph:

  10.00 ┤        ╭╮
   9.00 ┤ ╭╮     ││
   8.00 ┤ ││   ╭╮││
   7.00 ┤ ││   ││││╭╮
   6.00 ┤ │╰╮  ││││││ ╭
   5.00 ┤ │ │ ╭╯╰╯│││╭╯
   4.00 ┤╭╯ │╭╯   ││││
   3.00 ┼╯  ││    ││││
   2.00 ┤   ╰╯    ╰╯╰╯

Multiple Series

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph"
)

func main() {
	data := [][]float64{{0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 0}, {5, 4, 2, 1, 4, 6, 6}}
	graph := asciigraph.PlotMany(data)

	fmt.Println(graph)
}

Running this example would render the following graph:

 6.00 ┤    ╭─
 5.00 ┼╮   │
 4.00 ┤╰╮ ╭╯
 3.00 ┤ │╭│─╮
 2.00 ┤ ╰╮│ ╰╮
 1.00 ┤╭╯╰╯  │
 0.00 ┼╯     ╰

Colored graphs

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph"
)

func main() {
	data := make([][]float64, 4)

	for i := 0; i < 4; i++ {
		for x := -20; x <= 20; x++ {
			v := math.NaN()
			if r := 20 - i; x >= -r && x <= r {
				v = math.Sqrt(math.Pow(float64(r), 2)-math.Pow(float64(x), 2)) / 2
			}
			data[i] = append(data[i], v)
		}
	}
	graph := asciigraph.PlotMany(data, asciigraph.Precision(0), asciigraph.SeriesColors(
		asciigraph.Red,
		asciigraph.Yellow,
		asciigraph.Green,
		asciigraph.Blue,
	))

	fmt.Println(graph)
}

Running this example would render the following graph:

Command line interface

This package also brings a small utility for command line usage.

> asciigraph --help
Usage of asciigraph:
  asciigraph [options]
Options:
  -ac axis color
    	y-axis color of the plot
  -b buffer
    	data points buffer when realtime graph enabled, default equal to `width`
  -c caption
    	caption for the graph
  -cc caption color
    	caption color of the plot
  -f fps
    	set fps to control how frequently graph to be rendered when realtime graph enabled (default 24)
  -h height
    	height in text rows, 0 for auto-scaling
  -lc label color
    	y-axis label color of the plot
  -o offset
    	offset in columns, for the label (default 3)
  -p precision
    	precision of data point labels along the y-axis (default 2)
  -r realtime
    	enables realtime graph for data stream
  -sc series color
    	series color of the plot
  -w width
    	width in columns, 0 for auto-scaling
asciigraph expects data points from stdin. Invalid values are logged to stderr.

CLI Installation

Assuming $GOPATH/bin is in your $PATH, simply go get it then install CLI with following command:

go install github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph/cmd/asciigraph

or pull Docker image:

docker pull ghcr.io/guptarohit/asciigraph:latest

or download binaries from the releases page.

CLI Usage

Feed it data points via stdin:

seq 1 72 | asciigraph -h 10 -c "plot data from stdin"

or use Docker image:

seq 1 72 | docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/guptarohit/asciigraph -h 10 -c "plot data from stdin"

Output:

 72.00 ┤                                                                  ╭────

  1.00 ┼──╯
                                  plot data from stdin

Example of real-time graph for data points stream via stdin:

ping -i.2 google.com | grep -oP '(?<=time=).*(?=ms)' --line-buffered | asciigraph -r -h 10 -w 40 -c "realtime plot data (google ping in ms) from stdin"
