I like small tools on the command line. Tools which do one |
|
job well. What I used any now and then is termgraph [1]. |
|
It's a Python library and command line programm ingesting |
|
some kind of simple data and plotting different charts in |
|
your terminal. He, I'm a self-declared UI-Luddite after |
|
all. |
|
|
|
Example: I looked up some traffic-congestion statistics for |
|
Germany [2] and dumped the table into a flat text file using |
|
copy & paste, removed the German-style thousands separator |
|
`.` and feed it to `termgraph`. |

Not sure how you feel about it, but I like it. |

P.S. Fri 17 Jun 2022 08:08:45 AM CEST: I just realized that |
|
the dips in the years of 2020 & 2021 might be related to the |
|
COVID-19 pandemic. Not sure though. |
