About:
Clip is a command-line tool designed to generate publication-quality charts and visualizations directly from terminal data. It supports various chart types including bar, line, and scatter plots, offering extensive customization options for styling and layout. This tool eliminates the need for complex GUI-based software for creating quick, embeddable graphics for reports or documentation.
Key Features:
  • Generates SVG, PNG, and terminal output formats
  • Declarative configuration using JSON or command-line flags
  • No external dependencies for rendering (self-contained)
  • Supports real-time data streaming updates
Use Cases:
  • Visualizing server metrics or log data in real-time dashboards
  • Creating quick charts for documentation or technical presentations
  • Embedding graphical data output directly into terminal-based workflows
Alternatives:
  • gnuplot – Gnuplot is more feature-rich for complex plotting but has a steeper learning curve and heavier footprint.
  • termgraph – Termgraph specializes in basic text-based bar charts in the terminal, whereas Clip focuses on high-quality vector/raster graphics export.
