ttyplot

A realtime plotting utility for the command-line with data input from stdin. More information: https://github.com/tenox7/ttyplot.

• Plot the values 1, 2 and 3 (Note: cat prevents ttyplot from exiting):

{ echo {{1 2 3}}; cat; } | ttyplot

• Set a specific title and unit:

{ echo {{1 2 3}}; cat; } | ttyplot -t {{title}} -u {{unit}}

• Use a while loop to continuously plot random values:

{ while {{true}}; do echo {{$RANDOM}}; sleep {{1}}; done } | ttyplot

• Parse the output from ping and visualize it:

ping {{8.8.8.8}} | sed -u '{{s/^.*time=//g; s/ ms//g}}' | ttyplot -t "{{ping to 8.8.8.8}}" -u {{ms}}
