A Python library that draws plots directly inside the terminal as colored text, with no dependencies beyond itself. It supports scatter, line, bar, histogram, heatmap, and candlestick charts, plus images, videos, and live streaming plots.
Use cases
- plot data directly in the terminal
- visualize data over ssh without a GUI
- draw charts in a python cli tool
- stream live updating plots in the console
- display images and videos in the terminal
- quickly inspect csv data as a chart
When to choose
- you work primarily in the terminal or over SSH
- you need zero-dependency plotting in a CLI application
- you want lightweight charts without a display server
When to avoid
- you need publication-quality or interactive GUI charts
- you need advanced statistical plotting like seaborn provides
