About:
YouPlot is a command-line plotting tool that generates charts and graphs directly in the terminal or console. It processes tabular data from standard input or files and outputs visualizations using Unicode characters and ANSI colors, enabling quick data exploration without a GUI.
Key Features:
  • Plots directly in the terminal/console
  • Reads data from stdin (pipes) and files
  • Supports various chart types (bar, line, scatter, histogram)
  • Colorful output with ANSI codes
  • Lightweight and scriptable Ruby gem
Use Cases:
  • Quick data visualization in remote/headless server environments
  • Integrating charts into CLI workflows and data pipelines
Alternatives:
  • gnuplot – More powerful and feature-rich, but requires GUI or file output for display.
  • termgraph – Similar terminal-based plotting but with different chart styles and language (Python).
