Made me think of this that I have used previously: http://suso.suso.org/xulu/Shellshow http://suso.suso.org/xulu/Shellshow
I had played with writing a pandoc filter that would add formatting escape sequences based on markdown, your tool does a better job than where I got to.
One thing I want in a tool like this is to be able to display ascii charts like from gnuplot, which is why I liked the simplicity of Shellshow. I will have to dig in to see if this is possible, if not I expect it would be easy to add.
- vortex_ape 6y agoThanks for pointing me to Shellshow, I hadn't heard of it before, it looks cool! I'll look into it in detail sometime this week and see if I can add some of its features to `present`. > One thing I want in a tool like this is to be able to display ascii charts like from gnuplot, which is why I liked the simplicity of Shellshow. I will have to dig in to see if this is possible, if not I expect it would be easy to add. I've thought about adding charting features too! Asciimatics supports barcharts: https://asciimatics.readthedocs.io/en/stable/asciimatics.html#asciimatics.renderers.BarChart https://asciimatics.readthedocs.io/en/stable/asciimatics.htm... and lets you extend classes to build other types of charts too. Would you like to open an issue and describe this feature a bit in detail? https://github.com/vinayak-mehta/present/issues https://github.com/vinayak-mehta/present/issues For example, what should the API look like, should it pick up data from a csv file and load it up into a barchart etc. I would love to work on this when I find time!
