ASCIIPlots.jl
THIS PACKAGE IS ABANDONED. DO NOT USE IT.
Generate basic plots in Julia as ASCII art in the Julia REPL. This is based on code by Billou Bielour.
Usage Examples
We'll start with imagesc:
using ASCIIPlots
A = eye(10)
imagesc(A)
This evaluates to,
julia> imagesc(A)
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
Then we'll change the data a bit and replot it:
A[10, 1] = 1
A[1, 10] = 1
imagesc(A)
This evaluates to,
julia> imagesc(A)
@# @#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@# @#
Now we'll make a lineplot and a scatterplot:
x = 2 * pi * rand(30)
y = sin(x) + 0.1 * randn(30)
lineplot(x, y)
This evaluates to,
julia> lineplot(x, y)

Then we'll do a scatterplot:
scatterplot(x, y)
This evaluates to,
julia> scatterplot(x, y)

We can control the glyph being used:
scatterplot(x, y, sym = '*')
This evaluates to,
julia> scatterplot(x, y, sym = '*')
