#22This is great! Anyone know of anything like this for Python or R?
I guess plotille ( https://github.com/tammoippen/plotille ) is the closest match for python. And maybe termgraph ( https://github.com/mkaz/termgraph ) is kind of similar.

This looks pretty cool. Why isn't this more popular?

I was thinking about adding sixel support to this to have a universal graphics library that intelligently uses the best method available., but never got around to it yet.

What terminal do I need to see these images. I am confused.
Re: Unicode-based scientific plotting for working in the terminal
#29As somebody who grew up during the semi-graphic era, it makes me sad that we still use a 30 year old standard for terminals and cannot do direct plot in the main terminal (as opposed to the Tektronix separate window).
I was thinking something similar. Looking at this makes me wish a terminal app could just embed a PNG or whatever in its output.

It's not unicode, but there's also sixelplot [1] which allows matplotlib plotting in a terminal using sixel. The underlying pysixel library [2] unfortunately doesn't support Python 3.7+ however. [1] https://github.com/kktk-KO/sixelplot [2] https://github.com/saitoha/PySixel
