This is one of my favorite Julia packages! A fast plotting utility that outputs right to the terminal is one of those things that I didn't realize I needed until I found it.
- vok 6y agoI also like that I can incorporate plots into my plain-text notes files.
- ViralBShah 6y agoYes. Some people think this is a gimmick. But it is actually quite a bit useful. Especially, when in the middle of a session, I often do not want to move my hands from the keyboard to the mouse to close windows that plotting tools open, or move my gaze. It's not often that I work like this, but I like it that I can for the times I need to. Having inline plots in the terminal - especially things like histograms which just work - is often quite handy. And it just works over an ssh connection. Also, recently, Julia changed its sparse matrix display to show a picture of the sparse matrix (spy plot) using braille characters! julia> a = sprand(20,20,0.2) 20×20 SparseMatrixCSC{Float64,Int64} with 67 stored entries: ⠀⠀⠁⠐⠄⠋⠡⠀⠐⡀ ⢳⠁⠡⠈⠂⠀⠀⠁⢡⠑ ⡠⠋⢠⡀⢄⢀⢀⠄⠈⠈ ⠩⠄⠐⠨⠈⠀⠆⠂⠨⠤ ⠄⠄⢀⢂⠠⢀⠀⠂⠆⠂
