tplot is a Python package for creating text-based graphs. Useful for visualizing data to the terminal or log files.

• Scatter plots, line plots, horizontal/vertical bar plots, and image plots
• Supports numerical and categorical data
• Legend
• Unicode characters (with automatic ascii fallback)
• Colors
• Few dependencies
• Fast and lightweight
• Doesn't take over your terminal (only prints strings)

tplot is available on PyPi:

pip install tplot

Documentation is available on readthedocs.

import tplot

fig = tplot.Figure()
fig.scatter([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
fig.show()

import tplot
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(start=0, stop=np.pi*3, num=80)

fig = tplot.Figure(
    xlabel="Phase",
    ylabel="Amplitude",
    title="Trigonometric functions",
    legendloc="bottomleft",
    width=60,
    height=15,
)
fig.line(x, y=np.sin(x), color="red", label="sin(x)")
fig.line(x, y=np.cos(x), color="blue", label="cos(x)")
fig.show()
