About:
feedgnuplot is a command-line utility that fetches numerical data and pipes it directly to gnuplot for visualization. It simplifies the process of generating plots from live data streams, log files, or command outputs without needing to write complex gnuplot scripts. This tool is ideal for quick data analysis and real-time monitoring directly from the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Pipes data directly to gnuplot for instant graphing
  • Supports real-time plotting of streaming data
  • Handles various input formats (CSV, multi-column data)
  • Generates common plot types (line, scatter, bar, histograms)
Use Cases:
  • Visualizing real-time server metrics (CPU, memory, network)
  • Quickly plotting data generated by custom scripts or simulations
  • Analyzing log files by graphing specific values over time
Alternatives:
  • Gnuplot (native) – feedgnuplot acts as a wrapper to simplify data input, whereas native gnuplot requires manual script writing for data parsing and plotting.
  • Plotext – Plotext renders plots directly in the terminal using text characters, while feedgnuplot renders high-resolution graphical windows via gnuplot.
