Yea your plotting library is cool and all, but can it do this?
(plotting in the terminal. No extra libraries or special plugins, just native ascii, utf-8 and ansi)

That looks cool. Any links?

@dlaehnemann finalising everything for release. Making docs (thus the nice example plots). But yea it's a full plotting library and software, this is just a cool extra feature
@Psy_Fer_ It reminded me of bashplotlib:
https://github.com/glamp/bashplotlib
But I guess it's a different (and new) thing, then. And looks like it has GTF support. So please do announce it, once the docs are done!
@dlaehnemann ooh that's cool! I think I vaguely remember seeing that a few years ago.
I was just messing around to see if I could make a rasterisation method over my svg string similar to PNG, but using ASCII instead. I went looking at utf8 to see if other languages had some funky stuff I could use, then I found the braille! And yea, this happened.

@dlaehnemann I need another day or 2 to make sure all the documents website and shit work properly. Currently working on some gifs for the terminal stuff using .tape files and VHS which has been an interesting thing to learn.

@brenhinkeller oh wow! They look clean as heck!
No, this is from a library I wrote. Terminal plotting is just like a little fun module I added cause I thought it was cool 😅

@EpicBear a better plotting experience (that's pixel perfect) than existing rust crates. A binary that can plot on the command line...or to the terminal interface.
It's also pretty quick, so can plot thousands of complex plots quickly
I wrote it to make a few plots in another tool i wrote for STR analysis. I just got a little carried away on that side quest 😅
@EpicBear For the terminal specifically, i am thinking of people on a remote server with no X11 or whatever. And they just wanna have a quick look at 2 columns in a file on a scatter, or do a quick histogram or something to get an idea of what's going on.
